Good morning! Today there are not many papers, but there are two interesting highlights. The first being a COVID paper analysing the immunological profiles of patients, suggesting an immune-based therapeutic intervention may be the way to go. The second paper analysing the oral microbiome in oral cancer patients, showing significant alterations in diversity and specific genuses in these patients.

Enjoy!
