Please excuse me while I retweet our paper one last time.
A breakdown in a fine-tuned signaling pathway can disrupt #macrophages in the lungs and lead to the accumulation of surfactant—a hallmark of lung disorders such as #PulmonaryAlveolarProteinosis. fcld.ly/6c82xc1 @SciSignal #Immunology

Also huge kudos to @AlcornLab and @martjm for their grants on lung disease with CoV and in newborns. Strong work!
The Clinical and Translational Science Institute at the University of Pittsburgh has awarded $900,000 to 17 research projects to address different aspects of the #COVID19 pandemic. upmc.me/3bKoBCv @PittCTSI

Took us too long to get our act together for this but @DrKathyPG does a great job explaining her findings on the role of maternal iga in shaping the preterm microbiome and the development of nec.
Kathy P. Gopalakrishna of @thehandiestlab @ChildrensPgh describes how maternal IgA protects against the development of necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants. @NatureMedicine #enterocolitis #IgA #JRNLclub jrnlclub.org/research-films/…

Inspired by the original scratch method used to deliver the smallpox vaccine, the potential #COVID19 vaccine from Pitt scientists uses a microneedle array to deliver the treatment. Learn more: bit.ly/2Uz6ae2

If children aren't getting seriously ill with #COVID19, why do they need to be quarantined? Learn more from Dr. John Williams, chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases @ChildrensPgh.
