Paper rdcu.be/eyB5k shows how respiratory viruses including SARS‑CoV‑2 can awaken dormant breast cancer cells via IL‑6–driven inflammation and drive metastasis. Echoes our work rdcu.be/eyIFg COVID‑induced TGF‑β immunosuppression reactivates EBV in PASC, MIS-C
Respiratory viral infections awaken metastatic breast cancer cells in lungs

SARS-CoV-2 can disturb immune balance and awaken dormant guests like Epstein Barr Virus, a key oncogenic virus, via TGFβ driven suppression of T cell surveilance. Reactivation plays a role in MIS-C and other PASC. Our privious work @nature rdcu.be/eyIFg
TGFβ links EBV to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children
Nature - Multisystem inflammatory syndrome following SARS-CoV-2 infection results from increased serum levels of TGFβ, which impairs the reactivation of virus-specific T cells.

"Manche haben die Infektion nicht bemerkt. Wochen später haben die Kinder diese Entzündungsreaktion entwickelt. Auf den ersten Blick hat das mit SARS-2 nichts zu tun." @mashreghilab.bsky.social​ @drfzberlin.bsky.social​
“Plötzlich gab es zehnmal mehr Fälle.”
Manche Kinder entwickeln nach einer leichten Corona-Infektion eine schwere Entzündungsreaktion: MIS-C, auch PIMS genannt. Lange Zeit war unklar, warum.

#EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! Cineus, Hegazy &co show @natimmunol.nature.com that during #colitis ILCs produce IL22 which drives oncostatin M #OSM signaling in intestinal #epithelial cells recruiting immune cells, exacerbating inflammation & being essential for tumorigenesis & colorectal tumor growth!
The IL-22–oncostatin M axis promotes intestinal inflammation and tumorigenesis - Nature Immunology
Hegazy and colleagues demonstrate that epithelial oncostatin M receptor expression drives gut inflammation and tumor formation.
