Cryo-EM structure of TMEM63C suggests it functions as a monomer

The paper determines the cryo-EM structure of mouse TMEM63C, reveals structural differences from plant orthologues, and shows TMEM63C functions as a monomer while TMEM63B is a mix of monomer and dimer.

Tobacco, but not nicotine and flavor-less electronic cigarettes, induces ACE2 and immune dysregulation

This study finds that smoking increases ACE2 expression and inflammation, while vaping without nicotine or flavor does not, suggesting potential differences in COVID-19 risk.
