Lymphoid tissues in the upper respiratory tract contain immune cells that are crucial for local immunity. An analysis of adenoid tissue from individuals during and after SARS-CoV-2 infection is used to characterize tissue immune responses.

Cell-type-specific SARS-CoV-2-induced responses in nasal mucosa differ largely between ancestral, Delta and Omicron cases, including the association with severe disease and the cellular and immunological effects of prior vaccination.

This Perspective considers the application to infectious disease modelling of AI systems that combine machine learning, computational statistics, information retrieval and data science.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with considerable clinical heterogeneity and diverse treatment options. A study now shows that heightened extrafollicular B cells and anti-BAFF therapy are linked to inferior responses to COVID-19 vaccines.
