Lung Immune Cell Type "Quietly" Controls Inflammation in COVID-19
- A new study shows that nerve and airway-associated interstitial macrophages are crucial for survival from COVID-19 by controlling lung inflammation during infection with SARS-CoV-2.
- Research led by NYU Langone Health found that mice lacking NAMs had heightened inflammation and failed to survive COVID-19 infection.
- Experiments demonstrated that mice lacking NAMs had worsened inflammation and increased viral spread, resulting in their deaths.
- Tests on lung tissue from intubated COVID-19 patients indicated decreased NAM activity in those who died, supporting the findings from mice studies.

This Lung Cell Decides Who Survives COVID
Scientists have discovered that a rare immune cell type in the lungs, called NAMs, plays a crucial role in surviving COVID-19 by keeping the body's immune response from turning dangerously destructive. Rather than simply battling the virus, these cells act like peacekeepers, reining in excessive
