TET3 is a common epigenetic immunomodulator of pathogenic macrophages. Journal Of Clinical Investigation 2025 PMID: 40794443, DOI: 10.1172/jci194879.Peer-Reviewed Original ResearchThis study investigates the role of TET3 in promoting pathogenic macrophages across chronic inflammatory diseases, and shows that selectively eliminating TET3-overexpressing macrophages (“Toe-Macs”) can mitigate disease progression in conditions like MASH, NSCLC, and endometriosis.Linzagolix with and without hormonal add-back therapy for symptomatic uterine fibroids: PRIMROSE 1 & 2 long-term extension and withdrawal study
