Abstract Severe respiratory viral disease varies widely among individuals and often reflects immunopathology rather than inadequate pathogen control, suggesting that previous immune history can prime the lungs towards disease tolerance. Here we show that nerve- and airway-associated macrophages (NAMs), a subset of interstitial macrophages, expand ephemerally after type 2 inflammation induced by Nippostrongylus brasiliensis.

MAVS Signaling Is Required for Preventing Persistent Chikungunya Heart Infection and Chronic Vascular Tissue Inflammation

| Texas Medical Center
Abstract Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection has been associated with severe cardiac manifestations, yet, how CHIKV infection leads to heart disease remains unknown. Here, we leveraged both mouse models and human primary cardiac cells to define the mechanisms of CHIKV heart infection. Using an immunocompetent mouse model of CHIKV infection as well as human primary cardiac cells, we demonstrate that CHIKV directly infects and actively replicates in cardiac fibroblasts.
