## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers explores the structure, function, regulation, and biological significance of chitin metabolism in insects and mammals. It covers topics such as chitinases, immune responses, inflammation, asthma, and the role of chitin in tissue remodeling. The research also delves into the potential use of chitin-related molecules as biomarkers for various diseases. |
