#WeAreWhatWeEat! #EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! Dixit, Lee &co show @natmetabolism.nature.com that caloric restriction depletes cysteines, driving weight loss & browning of white adipose tissue via sympathetic nervous system-derived noradrenaline signaling, reversing metabolic inflammation in obese mice!

Nerve- and airway-associated interstitial macrophages mitigate SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis via type I interferon signaling
The local immunoregulatory mechanisms that safeguard the host from excessive lung infection inflammation remain unclear. Yeung, Yokota et al. uncover the essential role of nerve- and airway-associated macrophages (NAMs) in mitigating SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis. NAMs regulate viral spread and inflammation through type I interferon signaling, revealing their critical function in disease tolerance and potential as therapeutic targets for respiratory viral infections.
