Syndecan-4 exerts canonical heparan sulfate-dependent and noncanonical heparan sulfate-independent functions that regulate Aβ amyloid homeostasis
Kyu Hwan Shim, Yong Ran, Danny Ryu…·Todd Eliot Golde
This study shows that Syndecan-4 has both HS-dependent and HS-independent effects on Aβ amyloid homeostasis, reducing amyloid deposition in a mouse model.

METTL3 facilitates hepatic fibrosis progression via m6A-YTHDF2 dependent silencing of GPR161
Xue‐Yin Pan, Yihui Bi, Miao Cheng…·Jun Li
This paper shows that METTL3 promotes hepatic fibrosis by suppressing GPR161 through m6A-YTHDF2 modification, and its depletion alleviates fibrosis by stabilizing GPR161 and inhibiting Hedgehog pathway activation.
