An aberrant immune–epithelial progenitor niche drives viral lung sequelae

Nature - CD8+ T cell–macrophage interactions have a central role in impairing alveolar regeneration and driving fibrotic sequelae after acute viral pneumonia in a mouse model of long COVID.

1. Introducing a new thread: super basic lung pathology for PGY1s, with arrows. If you are a PGY1, leave a comment and I will tag you in a future post. A hamartoma is a disorganized mix of overgrown normal tissues (in their normal location) that creates a mass. Good news: they are benign! #pathology #pulmpath #tweetorial #pathtweetorial #sblppgy1

Have you wondered how Yamanaka found the 4-gene combination to transform somatic cells to stem cells? The # of possibilities are greater than - 20,000^4. I did this yesterday & read the original paper. What a journey & pure joy it was! Here’s how he did it. ⌛️

Our review of immune axes in lung fibrosis @CellCellPress is for the immunologist or cell biologist without a clinical background but reflects our lab's physician-scientist approach. 1/7.

In conclusion we echo the call of many others for translational insight into the natural history of lung fibrosis: earliest stages, acute exacerbations and integration of genomics with immunophenotyping (and mechanism!). 6/7

CXCL13 shows up prominently in T cells in autoimmune tissues and tumors. Human Tfh and Tph cells produce lots of CXCL13, yet its regulation is pretty unclear. With beautiful CRISPR screens by @jaehyukchoimd, @CalvinYLaw_, we found a few key factors... nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
