The pleural cavity is gaining recognition as an important player in lung infections. Our recent research revealed that pleural macrophages (PMs) migrate from the pleural cavity into the lung during influenza virus infection, contributing to improved disease outcomes. This summary highlights key findings on the role of PMs in influencing viral lung infection outcomes and explores the potential directions for advancing this emerging field of study.
