Exciting work by @drtesutherland.bsky.social!
#ScienceImmunology uncovers chitinase like proteins as key drivers of airway ECM remodeling, blocking Ym1 can reverse it!

Extremely happy to see our work out in #ScienceImmunology. We show allergen-induced ECM remodelling occurs independently of IL-13 or IL-17 driven inflammation. Rather chitinase-like proteins drive airway ECM accumulation & inhibition of Ym1 can remarkably reverse it. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Allergic airway matrix remodeling occurs independently of IL-13 and IL-17A and is driven instead by chitinase-like proteins.
