Dynamic self-stiffening in liquid crystal elastomers

Mimicking the behaviour of biological tissues requires finding biocompatible materials that can strengthen in response to external forces. Agrawal et al. show that polydomain nematic liquid crystal elastomers become unexpectedly stiffer when subjected to a small amplitude and repetitive compression.

Neutrophils and galectin-3 defend mice from lethal bacterial infection and humans from acute respiratory failure

This study reports training by lipopolysaccharide to expand neutrophils expressing the anti-bacterial galectin-3 protein defending mice from a lethal bacterial infection, a similar signature associated with survivors of respiratory failure in humans.

Targeted degradation of extracellular mitochondrial aspartyl-tRNA synthetase modulates immune responses

Here, Johnson et al show that bacterial pneumonia induces an interaction between the ubiquitin E3 ligase subunit FBX024 and the mitochondrial protein DARS2 to modulate host immune responses.

A comprehensive quantification of global nitrous oxide sources and sinks

Bottom-up and top-down approaches are used to quantify global nitrous oxide sources and sinks resulting from both natural and anthropogenic sources, revealing a 30% increase in global human-induced emissions between 1980 and 2016.

The mito-DAMP cardiolipin blocks IL-10 production causing persistent inflammation during bacterial pneumonia

Non-resolving bacterial pneumonia results in lung tissue damage owing to overactive inflammation. Here the authors show that the mitochondrial DAMP cardiolipin contributes to persistent inflammation by SUMOylating PPARγ, which promotes binding of the corepressor NCOR/HDAC3 complex to the IL-10 promoter.

Early infection with respiratory syncytial virus impairs regulatory T cell function and increases susceptibility to allergic asthma

Recurrent infections with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) early in life increase susceptibility to asthma. Nandini Krishnamoorthy et al. show that RSV infection of young mice impairs maternally transferred tolerance to allergens. Regulatory T (T_reg) cells in infected mice have impaired suppressor function and adopt a T_H2-like phenotype.
