Mitochondrial COX4I2 drives pericyte-dependent inflammation and emphysema

Claudia F. Garcia Castro, Vidya Srokshna Balasubramanian Lakshmi, Stefan Hadžić…·Natascha Sommer

This study shows that COX4I2 in pericytes drives inflammation and emphysema in COPD by increasing mtROS, and its deletion protects against these effects.

TNF Superfamily Member 14 Drives Post-Influenza Depletion of Alveolar Macrophages Enabling Secondary Pneumococcal Pneumonia

Christina Malainou, Christin Peteranderl, Maximiliano Ruben Ferrero…·Susanne Herold

This study identifies TNFSF14 as a driver of alveolar macrophage depletion after influenza, increasing susceptibility to pneumococcal pneumonia, and shows targeting this pathway can reduce disease severity.
