Reconsidering the need for gain-of-function research on enhanced potential pandemic pathogens in the post-COVID-19 era

Nariyoshi Shinomiya, Jusaku Minari, Go Yoshizawa, Malcolm Dando, Lijun Shang

Summary: This paper discusses the dual-use risk of infectious disease research involving enhanced potential pandemic pathogens, specifically focusing on gain-of-function research. While such research is currently supported, the benefits of these studies and their societal implications have not been adequately verified. However, the importance of infectious disease control from an international perspective has been recognized in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper summarizes the history of gain-of-function research, its significance in the current pandemic, and suggests future research directions.

Pui- Ho, Wei Liu, Tiger Zheng-Rong Li, Ta-Chien Chan, Chia-Chi Ku, Yu-Hui Lien, Yea-Huei Daphne Shen, Juine-Ruey Chen, Muh-Yong Yen, Yu-Kang Tu, Wan-Yu Lin, Richard Compans, Ping-Ing Lee, Chwan-Chuen King

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of class suspension and mass vaccination among Taipei schoolchildren during the 2009 influenza pandemic. It also investigated the factors affecting antibody responses. The study found that schoolchildren who experienced class suspensions had a higher seroprevalence of H1N1pdm09 before vaccination compared to those who did not. Participating in after-school activities and having more than three hours of exercise per week were significantly correlated with H1N1pdm09 infection. Two doses of the vaccine showed better antibody persistence than one dose. Exercise and preexisting immunity were found to be associated with antibody waning/maintenance.

Evaluation of the clinical relevance of vancomycin for the treatment of Lyme disease

Gary P. P. Wormser, Alan G. G. Barbour

Summary: There is no published data on the efficacy of vancomycin in patients with Lyme disease, and there are no convincing theoretical advantages of vancomycin compared to the currently used orally administered antimicrobial agents. Furthermore, vancomycin may cause serious adverse effects and requires the placement of an intravenous catheter. Therefore, vancomycin is not a recommended option for the treatment of patients with early Lyme disease or any other manifestation of Lyme disease.

Summary: The molecular characterization of cell types using single-cell transcriptome sequencing has led to a revolution in cell biology and provided new insights into the physiology of human organs. In this study, a human reference atlas was created, consisting of nearly 500,000 cells from 24 different tissues and organs, allowing for the molecular characterization of over 400 cell types, their tissue distribution, and tissue-specific variation in gene expression. By using multiple tissues from the same donor, the clonal distribution of T cells, tissue-specific mutation rate in B cells, and the analysis of cell cycle state and proliferative potential of shared cell types across tissues were identified. Additionally, cell type-specific RNA splicing was discovered and analyzed within an individual.

Seth M. Bloom, Nomfuneko A. Mafunda, Benjamin M. Woolston, Matthew R. Hayward, Josephine F. Frempong, Aaron B. Abai, Jiawu Xu, Alissa J. Mitchell, Xavier Westergaard, Fatima A. Hussain, Nondumiso Xulu, Mary Dong, Krista L. Dong, Thandeka Gumbi, F. Xolisile Ceasar, Justin K. Rice, Namit Choksi, Nasreen Ismail, Thumbi Ndung'u, Musie S. Ghebremichael, David A. Relman, Emily P. Balskus, Caroline M. Mitchell, Douglas S. Kwon

Summary: The composition of vaginal microbiota has a significant impact on reproductive health. Lactobacillus iners-dominated communities are associated with poorer outcomes. This study reveals that the growth of L. iners is dependent on L-cysteine, and the concentration of cysteine correlates with Lactobacillus abundance in vivo. Combining a cystine uptake inhibitor with metronidazole can suppress L. iners growth in favor of L. crispatus.

Rookery through rehabilitation: Microbial community assembly in newborn harbour seals after maternal separation

Alexandra D. Switzer, Benjamin J. Callahan, Elizabeth K. Costello, Elisabeth M. Bik, Christine Fontaine, Frances M. D. Gulland, David A. Relman

Summary: Microbial community assembly was studied in harbour seals, showing that the gingival and rectal communities of rehabilitated harbour seals were distinct from formula and pool water, and became increasingly diverse and dissimilar over time, ultimately resembling the communities of local wild harbour seals. Harbour seal microbiota assembly was compared to that of human infants, revealing the rapid emergence of host specificity and evidence of phylosymbiosis, despite being raised by humans. Early life prophylactic antibiotics were associated with changes in the composition of the seal communities and transient increases in alpha diversity, which dissipated over time. These findings highlight the importance of maternal contact and co-housing for neonatal mammals to develop a healthy and resilient microbiota.

Lyme Disease Agent Reservoirs Peromyscus leucopus and P. maniculatus Have Natively Inactivated Genes for the High-Affinity Immunoglobulin Gamma Fc Receptor I (CD64)

Alan G. Barbour, Jonathan V. Duong, Anthony D. Long

Summary: The deermice Peromyscus leucopus and P. maniculatus are important reservoirs for zoonotic agents in North America and demonstrate the phenomenon of infection tolerance. In this study, the absence of expression of Fc?RI in P. leucopus was confirmed in an experimental infection with Borreliella burgdorferi. The null phenotype is due to the inactivation of the Fcgr1 gene in both species, resulting in comparatively less inflammation during infection.

Cell Chemical Biology The impact of iron and heme availability on the healthy human gut microbiome in vivo and in vitro

Arianna I. Celis, David A. Relman, Kerwyn Casey Huang

Summary: This article focuses on the responses of the gut microbiota to iron supplementation in humans. The study finds that iron can cause gradual changes in the composition of the microbiota, and deprivation of iron leads to growth inhibition and reduction in diversity. Individual species' sensitivity to iron deprivation can predict their dependency in a community. Exogenous heme serves as a source of inorganic iron to prevent depletion of certain species. The results highlight the importance of combining in vivo and in vitro studies in understanding the impact of environmental factors on the gut microbiota.
