Pre‐Existing Th1 Immunity Outperforms Age in Predicting Antibody Responses to SARS‐CoV‐2 Inactivated Vaccines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Challenging the focus on age, this study finds pre‐existing T helper 1 cells are the key biomarker for predicting antibody response to SARS‐CoV‐2 inactivated vaccines. In both mice and humans, high responders exhibited elevated baseline T helper 1 cells, which correlated with robust humoral immunity, offering crucial guidance for improving vaccine ...

Synovial Fluid‐derived Micrococcus Luteus G18 Exacerbates Osteoarthritis Progression by Promoting Chondrocyte Degradation via TLR2/JNK/AP‐1 Signaling Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Traditionally considered sterile, the articular cavity is now recognized to harbor microbial communities influencing osteoarthritis (OA). Integrating 16S rRNA sequencing and culturomics, Micrococcus luteus is enriched in advanced OA. Notably, M. luteus G18 exacerbates cartilage degeneration via TLR2/JNK/AP‐1‐mediated ECM disruption, revealing intra ...
