Macrophages encompass a highly diverse set of cells abundantly present in every tissue and organ.

5) In this new study, they showed that Resident tissue macrophages (RTMs) are a heterogeneous group of immune cells that inhabit virtually all tissues and organs in the body. They were traditionally thought to only play roles in innate immunity, but ...

6) ...research has shown they have important functions in maintaining tissue homeostasis beyond immunity.ย 
RTMs can originate from either embryonic progenitors or fetal monocytes that persist into adulthood. Image
7) Their identity and phenotype are shaped by local environmental cues in each tissue.
Most tissues contain two conserved populations of RTMs - perivascular macrophages (PVMs) that are located near blood vessels. They can be identified by expression of TIM4 or MHCII and ... Image
8) ... have distinct transcriptional programs tailored to each organ.
- In addition to PVMs, some tissues contain specialized tissue-resident macrophage populations like microglia in the brain or alveolar macrophages in the lungs. Image
9) RTM subsets perform division of labor within tissues by mediating distinct physiological processes. For example, microglia regulate synaptic pruning and neural signaling in the brain, while alveolar macrophages clear pulmonary surfactant. Image
10) Dysregulation of RTM homeostasis, especially long-term deviation from their normal functions, can lead to or exacerbate chronic inflammatory diseases like Alzheimer's, atherosclerosis, and obesity-related disorders. Image
11) In summary, the paper discusses the heterogeneity, tissue-specific functions, and importance of RTMs in maintaining homeostasis and the implications when their functions are disrupted in disease states.

2) Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 strain has been detected in multiple dairy cattle herds across several US states, which is unusual as avian influenza rarely infects cattle.
Genetic analysis shows the virus belongs to the Eurasian H5N1 goose/Guangdong lineage.
3) It is suspected to have been introduced by wild migratory birds.
Infected cows showed symptoms like decreased milk production.
Genomic analysis found some genetic variation in the HA and NA genes between avian, mammal and human viruses, but genetic distance is small

3) Elevated HIF-1ฮฑ induces glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and mTORC1 to generate substrates for viral replication from glycolysis and glutaminolysis intermediates. Inhibiting these pathways impairs viral growth. Image

Symptoms of mucormycosis depend on the area of the body affected but may include fever, headache, facial pain or swelling, nasal congestion, cough, chest pain, skin lesions, and vision changes. If left untreated, mucormycosis can be life-threatening. Image
