An immune-poised state of human bronchial epithelial cells mediates RSV resistance in adults

Caiqi Zhao, Yan Bai, Hongmei Mou, Paul H. Lerou, Daisy W. Leung, Harish Narasimhan, Xiaoqin Wei, Jie Sun, Jin‐Fu Xu, Rachel Fearns, Xingbin Ai

The paper identifies an age-associated immune-poised state in human bronchial epithelial cells that mediates RSV resistance in adults by enhancing RIG-I-STAT3 signaling.
