Alveolar macrophages (AMs)—the most numerous immune cells of the lung—respond to viral infections by secreting cytokines to summon other immune cells. We investigated whether AMs recognize SARS‐CoV‐2 proteins and how they respond. AMs did not sense spike protein but did recognize envelope protein via the pattern recognition receptors TLR2 and TLR4 ...

ILC2 Diversity, Location, and Function in Pulmonary Disease
ABSTRACT Type‐2 inflammation is driven by the production of canonical type‐2 cytokines IL‐4, IL‐5, and IL‐13. Type‐2 cytokines promote mucus production, innate immune cell recruitment, and smooth muscle contractility in mucosal tissues. These hallmarks of type‐2 inflammation are important contributors to the weep‐and‐sweep responses observed in the ...

The skin development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been examined using histological, morphometric, and μCT methods. During a long period of postnatal development, the structural differentiation of the skin results in a functional shift from transcutaneous gas exchange to thermoregulation in later life.

ABSTRACT Background Cleft palate (CP) is a congenital defect characterized by an opening in the palate. Two crossbred paternal half‐sibs with a complex syndrome including CP were identified. Hypothesis/Objectives Characterize disease phenotype and evaluate the genetic cause of the observed syndrome.

ABSTRACT Objective Synthetic hydrogels that support 3D cell culture are widely used as platforms for modeling disease, such as tissue fibrosis, which leads to mechanical stiffening of the extracellular matrix (ECM). To interrogate how mechanical stiffness of the ECM affects microvascular remodeling, we developed a bioactive poly(ethylene glycol ...
