Description
People with coeliac disease seemed, oddly, to dodge the worst of COVID-19. Lerner and co-authors test a gene tale for that luck in 2023. Coeliac patients carry two gene forms that grip virus scraps in a set groove, and the grip may be primed by past colds.
The team lines up scraps of the new virus against scraps of four old cold viruses. Matches hint at cross-trained guard cells, left by the colds and ready for the cousin. Grip strength of each scrap in the groove is scored by machine. If the tale holds, a risk gene for one disease is a shield in another. The work is all in silico, a map for bench checks.
