It’s Veterans Day and my oath of enlistment has not expired. Therefore, I will try again to put constraints on virus-driven pathology (naturally attenuated viral endemicity) into the context of the American Legion’s motto: “For God and County” See for instance: eBook: Gene Interference This eBook explores how messenger RNA (mRNA) technology works and what … Naturally attenuated viral endemicity (2)
Editors’ note, January 2020: Many stories have promoted an unverified theory that the Wuhan lab discussed in this article played a role in the coronavirus outbreak that began in December 2019. Nature knows of no evidence that this is true; scientists believe the most likely source of the coronavirus to be an animal market. Their … From Wuhan to you (5)
My 2/22/19 comment on FB about preparing for the return of the 1918 Spanish flu led to FB restrictions ~10 months later, on 1/3/20 (the day after Bruce S. McEwen died). The FB censorship ends on 1/10/20. Watch for the next issue of Science Magazine on 1/10/20 to link ecological variation from the virus-driven degradation … Bruce S. McEwen’s retrovirus legacy (1)
KLRD1-expressing natural killer cells predict influenza susceptibility We identified KLRD1-expressing NK cells as a potential biomarker for influenza susceptibility. Expression of KLRD1 was inversely correlated with symptom severity. Our results support a model where an early response by KLRD1-expressing NK cells may control influenza infection. The NK cells are natural killer cells that help to … Predicting naturally occurring viral latency
