Abstract Toll-like receptors (TLR) are crucial components in the initiation of innate immune responses to a variety pathogens, triggering production pro-inflammatory cytokines and type I II interferons, which responsible for antiviral responses. Among different TLRs, TLR7 recognizes several single-stranded RNA viruses including SARS-CoV-2. We others identified rare loss-of-function variants X-chromosomal young men with severe COVID-19 no prior history major chronic diseases, that were...
MYBBP1A is a predominantly nucleolar transcriptional regulator involved in rDNA synthesis and p53 activation via acetylation. However little further information available as to its function. Here we report that developmentally essential the mouse prior blastocyst formation. In cell culture, down-regulation of decreases growth rate wild type embryonic stem cells, embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) human HeLa where it also promotes apoptosis. cells either arrest at G2/M or undergo delayed anomalous...
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, from whole-exome sequencing data about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting severity. First, converted into separate sets Boolean features, depending on the absence or presence each gene. An ensemble LASSO logistic regression models was identify most informative features with respect genetic...

Abstract Background Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus that caused an ongoing pandemic of pathology termed Disease 19 (COVID-19). Several studies reported both COVID-19 and RTEL1 variants are associated with shorter telomere length, but direct association between the two not generally acknowledged. Here we demonstrate up to 8.6% severe patients bear ultra-rare variants, show how this subgroup can be recognized. Methods A cohort 2246...
Abstract The clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection vary widely among patients, from asymptomatic to life-threatening. Host genetics is one the factors that contributes this variability as previously reported by COVID-19 Genetics Initiative (HGI), which identified sixteen loci associated with severity. Herein, we investigated genetic determinants mortality, performing a case-only genome-wide survival analysis, 60 days after infection, 3904 patients GEN-COVID and other European...
Lysozyme is able to lyse Gram-positive bacteria acting as muramidase on the peptidoglycan polymer. Gram-negative in vitro are not lysed by lysozyme. It was assumed that peptido-glycan protected outer membrane and thus affected lysozyme without aid of other factors such EDTA or complement which enable penetrate membrane. Accidentally, Pellegrini et al. [(1992) J. Appl. Bacteriol., 72:180-187] found per se kill some bacteria. On basis morphological immunocytochemical findings obtained from...

Abstract Introduction Cancer patients are frail individuals, thus the prevention of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection is essential. To date, vaccination most effective tool to prevent COVID‐19. In a previous study, we evaluated immunogenicity two doses mRNA‐based vaccines (BNT162b2 or mRNA‐1273) in solid cancer patients. We found that seroconversion rate without exposure was lower than healthy controls (66.7% vs. 95%, p = 0.0020). The present study aimed evaluate clinical efficacy same population....

The aim this study was compare different treatments reducing viral shedding, identifying a single drug that might potentially lead more rapid swab. Methods This single-centre, retrospective, observational conducted at Ospedale Luigi Sacco Milan. Data...
Despite its effectiveness, combination antiretroviral treatment (cART) has a limited effect on HIV DNA reservoir, which establishes early during primary infection (PHI) and is maintained by latency, homeostatic T-cells proliferation, residual replication. This can be associated with low drug exposure in lymphoid tissues and/or suboptimal adherence to drugs (ARVs). The aim of this study was assess ARV concentrations plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) lymph nodes (LNs), their...
Abstract It is debated whether CNS involvement begins during acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in persons without meningitis/encephalitis and specific antiretroviral drugs or combinations would be beneficial. Neurologically asymptomatic participants enrolled a randomized controlled study comparing three combination regimens (tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine plus dolutegravir; darunavir; both) primary HIV were enrolled. Serum CSF collected at baseline 12 48 (serum only)...
