Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 reshapes upper airway immunity in children
Children were relatively protected from severe COVID-19 during the early pandemic a phenomenon linked to rapid and heightened innate immune responses in the upper-airways. Although adult upper-airway antiviral responses varied across successive SARS-CoV-2 waves, whether viral evolution similarly reshaped pediatric mucosal immunity remains unclear. Here we used single-cell transcriptomics to…
