INDIANAPOLIS â When it comes to giving hope to others through the gift of life, Hoosier generosity has never been greater. Indiana Donor Network, the stateâs federally designated organ recovery organization, hit a milestone with more than 500 organs transplanted in the first half of 2021, which puts the organization on pace to break records for the third year in a row.

This puts the organization on track to facilitate 16% more organ transplants in 2021 compared to 2020 and nearly 50% more transplants this year compared to 2019.

Kids armed with anti-coronavirus B cells
It remains unclear whether B cell repertoires against coronaviruses and other pathogens differ between adults and children and how important these distinctions are. Yang
et al. analyzed blood samples from young children and adults, as well as tissues from deceased organ donors, characterizing the B cell receptor (BCR) repertoires specific to six common pathogens and two viruses that they had not seen before: Ebola virus and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Children had higher frequencies of B cells with convergent BCR heavy chains against previously encountered pathogens and higher frequencies of class-switched convergent B cell clones against SARS-CoV-2 and related coronaviruses. These findings suggest that encounters with coronaviruses in early life may produce cross-reactive memory B cell populations that contribute to divergent COVID-19 susceptibilities.
