📢 New preprint! We compared SARS-CoV-2 variants in an epithelium model grown at a temperature found in nasal passages (33°C). Omicron replicated to higher levels, caused more cilia damage, but induced less interferon than previous variants. Thus, Omicron could be fast but stealthy!

In these troubled times for science, a useful reminder that vaccines save lives: urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

I #StandUpforSciences because - it drives the discoveries that save countless lives - investment in innovation secures our children’s future - collaboration is the only way to face pandemics alone. - it strengthens our economies. - only knowledge can we build a healthier, more resilient world.

Jeger-Madiot, @lisachakrabarti.bsky.social et al. developed a lymphoid organ-chip that models human recall responses to protein and mRNA vaccination. buff.ly/3EUD0Qh 📘 In Multifaceted B Cell Functions & Dysfunctions: buff.ly/3CX1Y0O #KSBCel#KSBCells25
