- SARS-CoV-2 - innate immune response dynamics in the human airway profoundly impact susceptibility to infection
- Common cold infections can block more pathogenic viruses through effects on innate immunity
- Epithelial cells show tradeoffs between antioxidant and antiviral defense
- Understanding the interplay between fundamental host defenses within epithelial cells provides insight into the different ways epithelial surfaces can counteract damage, with implications for development, infectious disease and cancer.
