Management of Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation for High-Risk AML following SARS-CoV-2 Associated Pancytopenia with Marked Bone Marrow Biopsy Alterations by Maria Kaparou, Zbigniew Rudzki, Hannah Giles, Vidhya Murthy, Swathy Srinath, Rebecca Lloyd, Maria Zahid Ahmed, Beena Salhan, Saleena Chauhan, Bhuvan Kishore, Richard Lovell, Claire Horgan, Shankara Paneesha, Evgenia Xenou, Anand Lokare, Joanne Ewing, Hansini Dassanayake, Emmanouil Nikolousis, Alexandros Kanellopoulos

“…In parallel, our study provides bone marrow biopsy data in a series of contemporary patients with serious haematological diseases who had a bone marrow biopsy performed within two weeks of PCR confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study is notable because there are no published data describing the bone marrow biopsy changes observed in patients with haematological malignancies and SARS-CoV-2 infection. …”

MCP5, a methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein regulated by both the Hk1-Rrp1 and Rrp2-RpoN-RpoS pathways, is required for the immune evasion of Borrelia burgdorferi. by Sajith Raghunandanan, Kai Zhang, Yan Zhang, Raj Priya, Ching Wooen Sze, Yongliang Lou, Michael J Lynch, Brian R Crane, Mark H Kaplan, Chunhao Li, X Frank Yang

“…Notably, mcp5 expression is regulated by the Hk1-Rrp1 and Rrp2-RpoN-RpoS pathways, two key regulatory pathways that are critical for the spirochete's colonization of the tick vector and mammalian host, respectively. Infection experiments with an mcp5 mutant revealed that spirochetes lacking MCP5 were unable to establish infections in either C3H/HeN mice or Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) mice, which are deficient in adaptive immunity, underscoring MCP5's critical role in mammalian infection. …”
