Structure of a volume-regulated heteromeric LRRC8A/C channel

Sonja Rutz et al.

Summary: Volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) play a role in cellular response to osmotic swelling. These membrane proteins are composed of heteromeric assemblies of LRRC8 subunits, with compositions affecting permeation properties. In this study, the structure of murine LRRC8A/C channels was characterized. The assembly showed a predominant organization with an A:C ratio of two, with LRRC8A subunits stabilizing a closed state of the channel while LRRC8C subunits enhancing the activation properties.

Aging in COVID-19: Vulnerability, immunity and intervention

Yiyin Chen et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic originating from Wuhan in December 2019 has had far-reaching health and socioeconomic impacts worldwide. The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 is highly heterogeneous, with age, gender, and comorbidities playing key roles in disease severity and outcomes. Aging and dysregulation of immune function are thought to contribute to the increased vulnerability of older adults to severe COVID-19. Further research on immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in different age groups, is crucial for understanding disease heterogeneity and developing effective vaccines.
