[Scientific Reports] The authors found M-CSF secretion was increased in burn patients and a murine model of post burn ACI, so they neutralized M-CSF in ACI mice to determine if erythropoiesis was improved.

[Scientific Reports] Investigators studied serum MMP3 and MMP9 as potential biomarkers of COVID-19 severity, in 108 hospitalized patients with different World Health Organization severity stage and in 48 controls.

[Nature Communications] Investigators used multi-omics single-cell analysis to probe the dynamic immune responses in hospitalized patients with stable or progressive course of COVID-19, explore V(D)J repertoires, and assess the cellular effects of tocilizumab.

[Ebiomedicine] Pulmonary endothelial cells become dysfunctional during COVID-19, showing a loss of thrombomodulin expression related to severe thrombosis and infiltration, and endothelial cell dysfunction might be caused by a pathologic condition in COVID-19 patient lungs rather than a direct infection with SARS-CoV-2.

[Journal of Clinical Investigation] Scientists explored the underlying biology in myeloid cells from healthy volunteers following in vivo placebo or nicotinamide riboside administration and subsequently tested the findings in vitro in monocytes extracted from subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus.

[Scientific Reports] Investigators asked whether CCR2 was necessary for the development of colitis in mice lacking the receptor for IL10.
