Messy, overcomplicated and slow to start, but fun once it picks up speed. Our review:
Stunts are always cool. Running at 100mph, boosting your way through hoops before arcing gracefully around a loop-the-loop is never not fun. Unfortunately it takes Sonic Frontiers a while to get there.
The world is structured in two halves. There's cyberspace, which plays out like classic Sonic levels and has you zooming towards the goal as fast as you can, and the Starfall Islands themselves, which are a series of open-world spaces for you to explore. The first time you escape cyberspace into the real world you’re presented with an incredibly bland landmass of grey rock and flat grass.
It’s really not a great start—the world feels cold and empty, but over time giant loops and bounce pads are added. The progression system is a mess of currencies. To reach any of the Titans you’ll first need to collect the Chaos Emeralds, and to collect those you’ll need gate keys, but to get those you’ll need to collect gears to open cyberspace portals. You’ll also need a load of other collectibles to upgrade skills and progress, but with so many twinkly objects to keep track of it’s hard to know where to focus first.

Frontiers | Dysfunctional purinergic signaling correlates with disease severity in COVID-19 patientsEctonucleotidases modulate inflammatory responses by balancing extracellular ATP and adenosine (ADO) and might be involved in COVID-19 immunopathogenesis. Here, we explored the contribution of extracellular nucleotides metabolism to COVID-19 severity in mild and severe cases of the disease. We verified that the gene expression of ectonucleotidases is reduced in the whole blood of patients with COVID-19 and is negatively correlated to CRP plasma levels, an inflammatory marker of disease severity. In line with these findings, COVID-19 patients present higher ATP levels in plasma and reduced levels of ADO when compared to healthy controls. Cell type-specific analysis revealed higher frequencies of CD39+ T cells in severely ill patients, while CD4+ and CD8+ expressing CD73 are reduced in this same group. The frequency of B cells CD39+CD73+ is also decreased during acute COVID-19. Interestingly, B cells from COVID-19 patients showed a reduced capacity to hydrolyze ATP into ADP and ADO. Furthermore, impaired expression of ADO receptors and a compromised activation of its signaling pathway is observed in COVID-19 patients. The presence of ADO in vitro, however, suppressed inflammatory responses triggered in patients’ cells. In summary, our findings support the idea that alterations in the metabolism of extracellular purines contribute to immune dysregulation during COVID-19, possibly favoring disease severity, and suggest that ADO may be a therapeutic approach for the disease.

Frontiers | Modulating the microenvironment during FVIII uptake influences the nature of FVIII-peptides presented by antigen-presenting cellsBackground and Aims Hemophilia A is a severe bleeding disorder caused by the deficiency of functionally active coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). The induction of neutralizing anti-drug antibodies is a major complication in the treatment of hemophilia A patients with FVIII replacement therapies. Why some patients develop neutralizing antibodies (FVIII inhibitors) while others do not is not well understood. Previous studies indicated that the induction of FVIII inhibitors requires cognate interactions between FVIII-specific B cells and FVIII-specific CD4+ T cells in germinal center reactions. In this study, we investigated the FVIII peptide repertoire presented by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) under different microenvironment conditions that are expected to alter the uptake of FVIII by APCs. The aim of this study was to better understand the association between different microenvironment conditions during FVIII uptake and the FVIII peptide patterns presented by APCs. Methods We used a FVIII-specific CD4+ T cell hybridoma library derived from humanized HLA-DRB1*1501 (human MHC class II) hemophilic mice that were treated with human FVIII. APCs obtained from the same mouse strain were preincubated with FVIII under different conditions which are expected to alter the uptake of FVIII by APCs. Subsequently, these preincubated APCs were used to stimulate the FVIII-specific CD4+ T cell hybridoma library. Stimulation of peptide-specific CD4+ T-cell hybridoma clones was assessed by analyzing the IL-2 release into cell culture supernatants. Results The results of this study indicate that the specific microenvironment conditions during FVIII uptake by APCs determine the peptide specificities of subsequently activated FVIII-specific CD4+ T cell hybridoma clones. Incubation of APCs with FVIII complexed with von Willebrand Factor, FVIII activated by thrombin or FVIII combined with a blockade of receptors on APCs previously associated with FVIII uptake and clearance, resulted in dis
