SARS coronaviruses encode several mysterious proteins such as Orf3a and, in contrast to what has been claimed, Orf3a is not an ion channel but rather disrupts cellular trafficking by binding to the protein sorting complex known as HOPS.
A critical analysis of recent single-cell transcriptomic studies of Drosophila blood cells confirms the extreme plasticity of the major phagocyte class, identifies a new class of blood cell, and suggests relationships to blood cells in other insects.

Long studied in the context of the central nervous system, LRRK2 also functions in peripheral immunity by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis in macrophages to regulate the type I interferon response.

The levels of the cytokine BAFF increase across senescence paradigms, in turn triggering a secretory phenotype in some senescent cells and activating p53 in other senescent cells.
By altering monocyte development, pristane exposure could generate activated Ly6Chi and Ly6Clo/− monocytes, contributing to lung microvascular endothelial injury and DAH susceptibility.
Comprehensive scRNA-seq analysis of cardiac stromal cells in healthy and injured hearts reveals novel cell types and non-linear cell dynamics, providing new insights into cardiac inflammation, fibrosis and repair.
TRIM28 was found to be a versatile dual-function latency contributor by bridging both suppressive epigenetic modifications and RNAP II transcriptional-pausing, and can be a novel target to develop latency-reversing agents.
