Peer harmonized public #COVID19 vs control BAL #scRNAseq datasets to detect rare cell states in the infected #lung. Among his many findings was evidence for aberrant alveolar epithelial type 1 cells with cornification and other signatures reminiscent of the skin!

IF staining of patient lungs confirmed the AT1 cell state. Interesting implications for unexpected repair pathways in lung and perhaps for diagnosis and therapy. @AJRCMB

Pleased to announce the latest work of talented Prashant Rai @mitoimunfection just published in @jclinicalinvest : jci.org/articles/view/171982. We show that IRGM1 supports #hostdefense against intracellular #bacteria by suppression of type I #interferons!

This counters the longstanding paradigm of IRGM1 as an #interferongamma cell-autonomous antimicrobial protein. Exciting implications. Thanks to our collaborators @mayer_barber and Greg Taylor.
