Macrophages are cells that mediate both innate and adaptive immunity reactions, playing a major role in physiological pathological processes. Systemic SARS-CoV-2-associated complications include acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome, edema, pneumonia. These predominantly effects of massive macrophage activation collectively can be defined as syndrome. In this review we focus on the macrophages COVID-19, pathogenesis new coronavirus infection, especially cases complicated by ARDS, largely depends phenotypes functionalities. We describe participation monocytes, monocyte-derived resident lung ARDS discuss possible utility cell therapies for its treatment, notably use reprogrammed with stable pro- or anti-inflammatory phenotypes.

Cell-cell fusion between eukaryotic cells is a general process involved in many physiological and pathological conditions, including infections by bacteria, parasites, viruses. As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses use machineries pathways for efficient replication their host target cells. Interestingly, certain viruses, and, more especially, enveloped belonging to different viral families human can mediate cell-cell infected neighboring non-infected Depending of the cellular environment tissue organization, this virus-mediated leads merge membrane cytoplasm contents formation multinucleated cells, also called syncytia, that express high amount antigens tissues organs hosts. This ability some trigger as virus-donor surrounding mainly related virus-encoded proteins, known fusogens displaying fusogenic properties, expressed at cell surface Virus-induced then mediated interactions these proteins with molecules or receptors virus entry on Thus, goal review give an overview animal families, special focus fusion.
