Protein kinase F regulates the virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Flor Torres-Juárez, Shivangi Rastogi, David C. Young…·Volker Briken

This study shows that deleting the pknF gene in Mycobacterium tuberculosis increases its virulence in mice by enhancing production of the pro-virulence lipid PDIM and reducing host survival.

The inflammatory microenvironment of the lung at the time of infection governs innate control of SARS-CoV-2 replication

Paul J. Baker, Andrea C. Bohrer, Ehydel Castro…·Katrin D. Mayer-Barber

This study shows that pre-existing lung inflammation reduces SARS-CoV-2 replication by activating innate immune pathways, highlighting the role of the inflammatory microenvironment in controlling viral infection.
