Happy to share our latest work out now in Immunity @cp-immunity.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1016/j.im.... We provide insight into how influenza infections detrimentally impact cardiovascular health. Building on clinical observations, we show that influenza damages the heart and lowers its function.

#WeekendRead! #InterferonFriendOrFoe? @jeffdowney11.bsky.social @filswirski.bsky.social &co show @cp-immunity.bsky.social that upon severe flu lung infection, IAV is transported to the heart by DCs, where it infects cardiomyocytes to drive IFN-I, causing cardiac dysfunction! doi.org/10.1016/j.im...
