Open AccessShort-term intratracheal use of PEG-modified IL-2 and glucocorticoid persistently alleviates asthma in a mouse model
Regulatory T (Treg) cells play an important role in allergic airway diseases and upregulation of Treg cells is a potential therapeutic strategy for asthma. In this study, we show that short-term intratracheal ...

Open AccessThe liver-enriched lnc-LFAR1 promotes liver fibrosis by activating TGFβ and Notch pathways
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in various biological processes such as proliferation, cell death and differentiation. Here, we show that a liver-enriched lncRNA, named liver fibrosis-associ...
