WSTF nuclear autophagy regulates chronic but not acute inflammation - Nature During chronic but not acute inflammation, chromatin remodelling is influenced by nuclear autophagy through WSTF interaction with ATG8 in the nucleus, leading to WSTF nuclear export and its subsequent degradation.

Cells are swapping their mitochondria. What does this mean for our health? Researchers are studying why the energy factories are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat cancer and other diseases.

Those cheeky little mitochondria ๐Ÿคฃ

Not only are they ancient bacteria living symbiotically in all our cells (weird!)

and are inherited maternally (yay feminism!)

but they also move from cell to cell, improving cell performance against stressors. ๐Ÿคฏ

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools)

Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

Nerve- and airway-associated interstitial macrophages mitigate SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis via type I interferon signaling The local immunoregulatory mechanisms that safeguard the host from excessive lung infection inflammation remain unclear. Yeung, Yokota et al. uncover the essential role of nerve- and airway-associated macrophages (NAMs) in mitigating SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis. NAMs regulate viral spread and inflammation through type I interferon signaling, revealing their critical function in disease tolerance and potential as therapeutic targets for respiratory viral infections.

Cell typeโ€“specific efferocytosis determines functional plasticity of alveolar macrophages MPO activates an immunometabolic rheostat to restrict the functional plasticity of macrophages in favor of proresolving properties.

#WeekendRead #NoTimeToDie! Matt, Better &co show @ Science Immunology that efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils (not epithelial cells) by alveolar macrophages reprograms their metabolism, boosting glutaminolysis & decreasing ROS, thus favoring repair but facilitating secondary bacterial infections
