TREM2+ macrophages accumulate in alveoli of human pulmonary tuberculosis providing a permissive niche for bacterial growth

Rosane M. B. Teles, Chaouki Benabdessalem, Jonathan Perrie…·Robert L. Modlin

This study identifies TREM2+ lipid-laden macrophages in alveolar TB pneumonia that support Mtb survival, contrasting with granulomas, and shows pharmacological reversal of this immunometabolic state.

Esophageal epithelial Ikkβ deletion promotes eosinophilic esophagitis in experimental allergy mouse model

Margarette H. Clevenger, Cenfu Wei, Adam L. Karami…·Marie‐Pier Tétreault

This study shows that deleting Ikkβ in esophageal epithelial cells worsens eosinophilic esophagitis in a mouse model, highlighting the importance of IKKβ/NFκB signaling in preventing allergic inflammation.
