The spatial landscape of lung pathology during COVID-19 progression

Andre F. Rendeiro et al.

Summary: Recent studies using high-parameter imaging mass cytometry have provided insights into the cellular composition and spatial architecture of acute lung injury in humans, including injuries derived from SARS-CoV-2 infection. It was found that SARS-CoV-2 predominantly infects alveolar epithelial cells and induces a localized hyperinflammatory cell state associated with lung damage. As COVID-19 progresses, there is increased macrophage extravasation, along with increased numbers of mesenchymal cells and fibroblasts, possibly indicating attempts to repair the damaged lung tissue. The data generated help in developing a biologically interpretable landscape of lung pathology at both macroscopic and single-cell levels, providing a basis for understanding COVID-19 and lung pathology.
