Description

Rakshya Shrestha and four co-authors study how TLR and ERK signaling drive dysregulated immunity in macrophages in a 2024 paper. RNA viruses can spark too much inflammation while the interferon reply that should stop them runs weak. That split response goes with severe disease, yet the host switches behind it were poorly mapped.

The team fed mouse macrophages fake viral RNA of both kinds: single-stranded, which trips one toll-like receptor, and double-stranded, which trips another. The two alarms drove unlike patterns of the ERK pathway and unlike mixes of signals. The split in that one pathway, they argue, helps explain how the immune reply goes off the rails.
