Pathogen-specific innate immune response patterns are distinctly affected by genetic diversity - Nature CommunicationsLooking at genes that are differentially responsive to pathogens depending on the genetic background may help in the identification of therapeutic targets in personalized medicine. Here, using challenge of monocytes with three pathogens the authors identified eQTL that are shared between pathogens and loci that are pathogen specific.

Embryonic vitamin D deficiency programs hematopoietic stem cells to induce type 2 diabetes - Nature CommunicationsEnvironmental conditions during pregnancy contribute to offspring metabolic disease. Here, the authors show that immune cells reprogrammed in utero by maternal vitamin D deficiency increase lifetime diabetes risk in the offspring and are sufficient to transplant diabetes.

Estimating the impact of COVID-19 vaccine inequities: a modeling study - Nature CommunicationsGlobal COVID-19 vaccine distribution has been inequitable. In this mathematical modelling study, the authors estimate the proportion of deaths that could have been averted in twenty low- and lower-middle-income countries if vaccines had been more widely available early in the pandemic.
