What are you working on now?

In my current project I’m working on the role of snx10 in atherosclerosis, AS is the short term of it. AS is an inflammatory disease that IS related to A lipid metabolism disorder. We found that snx10 deficiency can eliminate the progress of plaque. We also found that the lipid accumulation was reduced in snx10 knockout mice. Lysosome acid lipase (the short term is LAL) can explain the role of snx10, As we found snx10 deficiency can decrease the intercellular ph.

**not much grammar issues main problem is pronunciation, especially with very long compound words need to speak slower.
