This study compares S. pyogenes infection responses in airway and alveolar epithelial cells, finding that alveolar cells show higher cell death and a pro-inflammatory response without cytokine secretion, and that IFN-β treatment reduces infection.

This study shows that mast cells are not essential for pubertal mammary gland branching in mice, using multiple genetic models.

The paper identifies CSF1 and TGFβ as key signals for synovial lining macrophage development in mice, which occurs postnatally and is monocyte-independent.

This study develops an iPSC-derived air-liquid interface platform to study AT2-macrophage interactions in homeostasis, infection, and repair, revealing their roles in antiviral immunity and epithelial repair.
