Reactive Oxygen Species in Asthma: Regulators of Macrophage Polarization and Therapeutic Implications: A Narrative Review by Liu Y, Zhang M, Wang T, Zhang J

“…ARG1 rich M2 cells convert L-arginine into proline, fostering collagen deposition; Ym1/2, Fizz1 and CD206 correlate with airway remodeling and declining lung function. Emerging antioxidant and macrophage-polarization strategies that selectively modulate ROS show promise in rebalancing M1/M2 responses and attenuating airway hyper-responsiveness. …”

Quand l’écriture entre dans le quotidien : les mots de la mémoire dans les livres de raison (Provence, fin xve-xviiie siècles) by Isabelle Luciani

“…This lexicon is correlated with the functions of memory aids and records (these books of reason could be used as evidence in court), which allows us to question the way words and signs functioned in memory techniques (repetitions, reformulations, mnemonic use of genealogies, reference to historical events, etc.) developed by scribblers often unfamiliar with the learned “arts of memory”. …”
