‘The induction and coordination of immune cells in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection are critical in the immunopathology of COVID-19. Here the authors use a rhesus macaque model of SARS-CoV-2 infection and show key populations of macrophage drive the inflammatory cytokine production in the alveolar space’.
