Current Issue Highlights

The present article describes a useful, accessible animal model of respiratory OC43 coronavirus infection and assesses the effects of immune-modulating therapies on disease. The study provides a platform model that can support basic research to better understand the mechanisms underlying respiratory coronavirus infection, immune stimulation, and identification and development of novel therapies for coronavirus-induced diseases.

Karmaus and colleagues performed a meta-analysis of several independent publicly available BAL single-cell RNA sequencing datasets from patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in an effort to enrich for new insights into pathogenesis. Pseudotemporal modeling of AT-II–to–AT-I progression revealed evidence for an AT-I cell state marked by the aberrant induction of multiple genes of the epidermal differentiation complex and a cornification signature. These findings identify new putative markers and potential pathophysiologic mechanisms of alveolar epithelial injury in human subjects with COVID-19.
DECEMBER 2023 AJRCMB
The authors’ findings indicate that mouse Eos are a heterogeneous pool of cells with distinct activation states and spatiotemporal regulation during the resolution of type 2 inflammation and that RvD2 is a potent proresolving mediator for inflammatory Eos recruitment and activation.

The results define cells isolated within the so-called “golden hour of birth” in extremely premature neonate airways, representing complex lung biology, and can be used in studies of human development and disease.
