Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a pandemic affecting many countries and millions of people. Physicians have encountered some rare and challenging cases related to SARS-CoV-2, a novel virus with still many unknowns. In order to share our experience of a such clinical picture, we present here a child with SARS-CoV-2-induced macrophage activation syndrome in the setting of juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Menin is a scaffold protein encoded by the Men1 gene, and it interacts with a variety of chromatin regulators to activate or repress cellular processes. The potential importance of menin in immune regulation remains unclear. Here, we report that myeloid deletion of Men1 results in the development of spontaneous pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP).

: Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) are critical components in regulating the immune statuses of the tumor microenvironments. Although TAM has been intensively studied, it is unclear how mitochondrial proteins such as AGK regulate the TAMs' function. : We investigated the AGK function in TAMs using macrophage-specific deficient mice with B16 and LLC syngeneic tumor models.
