Macrophage to Myocyte Mitochondrial Transfer in the Myometrium: A Novel Mechanism for the Initiation of Labor

Lubna Nadeem, Amit Sharma, Sharanya Shankar, Eduardo Aguiar Cabeza, Laurence Pelletier, Andrea Juriscova, Oksana P. Shynlova, Stephen James Lye

The paper shows M1 macrophages transfer mitochondria to myocytes via tunneling nanotubes, enhancing ATP production and progesterone withdrawal, which initiates labor.

Activation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress regulator IRE1α compromises pulmonary host defenses

Amit Sharma, Linda M. Heffernan, Ky V. Hoang, Samithamby Jeyaseelan, William N. Beavers, Basel H. Abuaita

This study shows that activating IRE1α in the lungs during MRSA infection worsens pneumonia by increasing inflammation and cell death, but blocking IRE1α improves survival and reduces lung damage.
