Seroepidemiology of COVID-19 in pregnant women and their infants in Uganda and Malawi across multiple waves 2020-2022 by Hookham, L, Cantrell, L, Cose, S, Freyne, B, Gadama, L, Imede, E, Kawaza, K, Lissauer, S, Musoke, P, Nankabirwa, V, Sekikubo, M, Sommerfelt, H, Voysey, M, PeriCOVID Consortium, Le Doare, K

“…Overall, 63% of pregnant women had a SARS-CoV-2 positive serology. Over subsequent waves (delta and omicron), in the absence of vaccination, seropositivity rose from 20% to over 80%. …”

Distinctive antibody responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in pulmonary and brain infection by Spatola, M, Nziza, N, Irvine, EB, Cizmeci, D, Jung, W, Van, LH, Nhat, LTH, Ha, VTN, Phu, NH, Nghia, HDT, Thwaites, GE, Lauffenburger, DA, Fortune, S, Thuong, NTT, Alter, G

“…<br> Using a high throughput systems serology approach, we deeply profiled the antibody responses against 10 different <i>M. tuberculosis</i> antigens, including lipoarabinomannan (LAM) and purified protein derivative (PPD), in HIV-negative adults with pulmonary TB (n = 10) versus TBM (n = 60). …”

Opportunities for machine learning to accelerate halide-perovskite commercialization and scale-up by Kumar, Rishi E., Tiihonen, Armi, Sun, Shijing, Fenning, David P., Liu, Zhe, Buonassisi, Tonio

“…In this perspective, we review practical challenges hindering the commercialization of halide perovskites, and discuss how machine-learning (ML) tools could help: (1) active-learning algorithms that blend institutional knowledge and human expertise could help stabilize and rapidly update baseline manufacturing processes; (2) ML-powered metrology, including computer imaging, could help narrow the performance gap between large- and small-area devices; and (3) inference methods could help accelerate root-cause analysis by reconciling multiple data streams and simulations, focusing research effort on areas with highest probability for improvement. …”
