    Class A scavenger receptor MARCO negatively regulates Ace expression and aldosterone production

    Conan JO O'Brien, Giorgio Ratti ... Ana I Domingos
    Loss of class A scavenger receptor MARCO results in elevated lung Ace expression and elevated plasma aldosterone concentrations in male mice, demonstrating an endocrine function of this immune scavenger receptor.

    IL-27 limits HSPC differentiation during infection and protects from stem cell exhaustion

    Daniel L Aldridge, Zachary Lanzar ... Christopher A Hunter
    Functional analyses showcase that in the absence of IL-27, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are more likely to become monocytes during toxoplasmosis, making them less responsive after infection.
