METTL16 supports arginine biosynthesis and suppresses IL-1β production to attenuate allergic asthma

Allergic asthma is a common disease. We aimed to investigate the role of METTL16, an N6-methyladenosine (m6A) writer, in allergic asthma and epithelial homeostasis. Here we show that pulmonary METTL16 expression was decreased in patients with allergic asthma and in a murine model...

Piezo1 drives fibroblast activation in epidural fibrotic remodelling via the ET-1/HIF-1α pathway

Aims: Epidural fibrosis is a major cause of failed back surgery syndrome following laminectomy. While previous studies have focused primarily on the early phases of scar formation, fibrotic remodelling remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the interaction bet...
