Description
Mateus de Castro, Mayana Zatz, and a team of co-authors hunt for why some exposed people never caught COVID-19. Their study, from twenty twenty-four, follows six women who lived with infected partners. The partners were sick and tested positive, some more than once. Yet the women stayed free of symptoms or infection.
Blood immune cells from the couples were prodded in the lab. One gene, switched on by interferon, stood out in the protected women alone. That gene, IFIT3, helps cells fight viruses. Its rise appeared only in the exposed but uninfected group. The team proposes it as a shield factor worth deeper study.
