Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection can affect all human beings, including pregnant women. Thus, understanding the immunological changes induced by virus during pregnancy is nowadays of pivotal importance. Here, using peripheral blood from 14 women with asymptomatic or mild infection, we investigate cell proliferation and cytokine production, measure plasma levels 62 cytokines, perform a 38-parameter mass cytometry analysis. Our results show an increase in low density neutrophils but no...

Palaeopathology is the science which studies ancient human diseases. Throughout its relatively young history it underwent tremendous technological and methodological improvements (from pure morphology histology to CT scanning) that have constantly reshaped scientific rationale. Among other achievements, study of mummies fossilized hominids has allowed effectively extract DNA, prove existence atherosclerosis in times, demonstrate presence disease vectors, better clarify etiology infectious...
