Single-cell landscape of bronchoalveolar immune cells in patients with COVID-19.

TLDR
Single-cell transcriptome and T cell receptor analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid suggests enrichment of proinflammatory macrophages in patients with severe COVID-19 and the presence of clonally expanded CD8 + T cells in Patients with moderate CO VID-19.
Abstract
Respiratory immune characteristics associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity are currently unclear. We characterized bronchoalveolar lavage fluid immune cells from patients with varying severity of COVID-19 and from healthy people by using single-cell RNA sequencing. Proinflammatory monocyte-derived macrophages were abundant in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with severe COVID-9. Moderate cases were characterized by the presence of highly clonally expanded CD8+ T cells. This atlas of the bronchoalveolar immune microenvironment suggests potential mechanisms underlying pathogenesis and recovery in COVID-19.

The Surviving Sepsis Campaign: Research Priorities for Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Critical Illness

TL;DR: The Surviving Sepsis Research Committee as mentioned in this paper identified 13 research priorities in the management, pathophysiology, and host response of coronavirus disease 2019 in critically ill patients, including the following: 1) Should the approach to ventilator management differ from the standard approach in patients with acute hypoxic respiratory failure? 2) Can the host response be modulated for therapeutic benefit? 3) What specific cells are directly targeted by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and how do these cells respond? 4) Can early data be used to predict outcomes of coronaval

Macropahge expression and prognostic significance of the long pentraxin PTX3 in COVID-19

TL;DR: The results reported here suggest that circulating and lung myelomonocytic cells are a major source of PTX3 and thatPTX3 plasma levels can serve as a strong prognostic indicator of short-term mortality in COVID-19.
