  • Western voices claim that China needs “to discredit engrained cultural beliefs” to make the country’s ban on wildlife trade workable (see J. Ribeiro et al. Nature 578, 217; 2020). This stereotyped perception of Chinese society disregards the country’s huge support for the ban, thanks to efforts by conservationists and the government, as well as evidence that traditional wild-meat consumption is in decline — particularly in the young and in large urban areas (see, for example, go.nature.com/3d8za5i and go.nature.com/33qglzs; in Chinese).

    • Functional exhaustion of antiviral lymphocytes in COVID-19 patients Meijuan Zheng, Yong Gao, Gang Wang, Guobin Song, Siyu Liu, Dandan Sun, Yuanhong Xu & Zhigang Tian Cellular & Molecular Immunology (2020) In December 2019, a novel coronavirus was first reported in Wuhan, China.1 It was named by the World Health Organization as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and is responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Up to 28 February 2020, 79,394 cases have been confirmed according to China’s National Health Commission. Outside China, the virus has spread rapidly to over 36 countries and territories.

    • The spatial landscape of lung pathology during COVID-19 progression André F. Rendeiro, Hiranmayi Ravichandran, Yaron Bram, Vasuretha Chandar, Junbum Kim, Cem Meydan, Jiwoon Park, Jonathan Foox, Tyler Hether, Sarah Warren, Youngmi Kim, Jason Reeves, Steven Salvatore, Christopher E. Mason, Eric C. Swanson, Alain C. Borczuk, Olivier Elemento & Robert E. Schwartz Nature (2021) Abstract Recent studies have provided insights into the pathology and immune response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)1–8. However, thorough interrogation of the interplay between infected cells and the immune system at sites of infection is lacking. We use high parameter imaging mass cytometry9 targeting the expression of 36 proteins, to investigate at single cell resolution, the cellular composition and spatial architecture of human acute lung injury including SARS-CoV-2. This spatially resolved, single-cell data unravels the disordered structure of the infected and injured lung alongside the distribution of extensive immune infiltration. Neutrophil and macrophage infiltration are hallmarks of bacterial pneumonia and COVID-19, respectively. We provide evidence that SARS-CoV-2 infects predominantly alveolar epithelial cells and induces a localized hyper-inflammatory cell state associated with lung damage. By leveraging the temporal range of COVID-19 severe fatal disease in relation to the time of symptom onset, we observe increased macrophage extravasation, mesenchymal cells, and fibroblasts abundance concomitant with increased proximity between these cell types as the disease progresses, possibly as an attempt to repair the damaged lung tissue. This spatially resolved single-cell data allowed us to develop a biologically interpretable landscape of lung pathology from a structural, immunological and clinical standpoint. This spatial single-cell landscape enabled the pathophysiological characterization of the human lung from its macroscopic presentation to the single-cell, providing an important basis for the understanding of COVID-19, and lung pathology in general.
