IL-22/IL-22R1 promotes proliferation and collagen synthesis of MRC-5 cells via the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway and regulates airway subepithelial fibrosis.

Asthma in children poses a threat to their health, but the mechanism remains to be elucidated. The present study investigated the mechanism by which the interleukin (IL)-22/IL-22 receptor 1 (IL-22R1) signaling pathway regulates subepithelial fibrosis in children with asthma. A total of 41 children with asthma and 12 healthy children were included in the present study.

Core-shell (nano-SnX/nano-LiTiO)@C spheres (X = Se,Te) with high volumetric capacity and excellent cycle stability for lithium-ion batteries.

Among binary tin chalcogenides as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, SnSe and SnTe have attracted attention due to their high theoretical volumetric capacity. However, they suffer from sluggish dynamics and serious agglomeration during lithiation/delithiation processes, which leads to inferior cycling performance. This study reports core-shell structure (nano-SnSe/nano-LiTiO)@C and (nano-SnTe/nano-LiTiO)@C [denoted as (n-SnX/n-LTO)@C] with extraordinary lithium storage stability.
