  • Focus Issue: Trained Immunity

    The articles in this focus issue discuss progress towards a better understanding of memory in the innate immune system, and efforts to develop new vaccines and therapeutics based on “trained immunity”.

    Collection
We liked the idea of having an open 'conversation' with the reviewers during the process, and having the chance to polish the manuscript by following the editors and reviewers’ recommendations without the threat of rejection.

    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.

    Local, calcium- and reward-based synaptic learning rule that enhances dendritic nonlinearities can solve the nonlinear feature binding problem

    Zahra Khodadadi, Daniel Trpevski ... Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski
    Biophysically detailed modeling predicts that a biologically plausible synaptic plasticity rule, gated by calcium and dopamine, enables single neurons to solve nonlinear binding tasks by exploiting dendritic nonlinearities.
