LRG1: An Emerging Player in Disease Pathogenesis
[Journal of Biomedical Science] Emphasis is given to the role that leucine-rich α-2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) plays as a vasculopathic factor where it disrupts the cellular interactions normally required for the formation and maintenance of mature vessels, thereby indirectly contributing to the establishment of a highly hypoxic and immunosuppressive microenvironment.

M-CSF Supports Medullary Erythropoiesis and Erythroid Iron Demand Following Burn Injury through Its Activity on Homeostatic Iron Recycling
[Scientific Reports] The authors found M-CSF secretion was increased in burn patients and a murine model of post burn ACI, so they neutralized M-CSF in ACI mice to determine if erythropoiesis was improved.
