Increasing evidence for the central role of peroxisomes in antiviral immunity. A new study provides in vivo evidence to support a role for peroxisomes in SARS-COV-2 infection. Kudos to the authors on this important study. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Macrophage peroxisomes guide alveolar regeneration and limit SARS-CoV-2 tissue sequelae

Peroxisomes are vital but often overlooked metabolic organelles. We found that excessive interferon signaling remodeled macrophage peroxisomes. This loss of peroxisomes impaired inflammation resolu...
