    The Mac1 ADP-ribosylhydrolase is a therapeutic target for SARS-CoV-2

    Rahul K Suryawanshi, Priyadarshini Jaishankar ... James S Fraser
    The development of new small molecules demonstrates how pharmacologic inhibition of the coronavirus macrodomain restores innate immunity, leading to reduced viral replication and improved outcomes in severe infection.

    The role of co-infection in the pathogenesis of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and development of post-acute sequelae: A perspective

    Timothy J Henrich, Christopher P Montgomery ... Maria Laura Gennaro
    Unraveling mechanisms underlying post-acute SARS-CoV-2 sequelae (long COVID) and finding therapeutic solutions require a full understanding of the causative role of SARS-CoV-2 persistence and/or infection with other microorganisms, which may be pre-existing, concurrent, or subsequent to acute COVID-19.

    Focus Issue: Evolving our understanding of trained immunity

    Eva Kaufmann, Yahya Sohrabi ... Jos WM van der Meer
    The articles in this focus issue discuss progress towards a more complete understanding of memory in the innate immune system, and efforts to exploit "trained immunity" for the development of new vaccines and therapeutics.
