Microbial Signals, MyD88, and Lymphotoxin Drive TNF-Independent Intestinal Epithelial Tissue Damage

Researchers showed that TNF-independent intestinal epithelial cells death after A20 and Abin-1 deletion was rescued by germ-free derivation or deletion of MyD88, while deletion of Trif provided only partial protection.

Characterization of the COPD Alveolar Niche Using Single-Cell RNA Sequencing

The authors analyzed single-cell RNA sequencing profiles of explanted lung tissue from subjects with advanced COPD or control lungs and identified a subpopulation of alveolar epithelial type II cells with transcriptional evidence for aberrant cellular metabolism and reduced cellular stress tolerance in COPD.

SARS-CoV-2 Targets the Lysosome to Mediate Airway Inflammatory Cell Death

Emerging evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 could trigger pyroptosis, a form of inflammatory programmed cell death characterized by the activation of inflammasomes and caspase 1 and the formation of transmembrane pores by gasdermin D.
