Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a deadly and rapidly progressing disease with no cure. The disease involves abnormal interactions between lung cells, including fibroblasts, and their surrounding environment. Because of this, standard 2D cell culture models used for drug screening tend to perform poorly when predicting response to potential therapies. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and […]
The reduction of harmful ground-level ozone across most of the U.S. over the past several decades has been an air pollution success story. But in some parts of the country, especially in the heavily populated mountain valleys of the West, the odorless, colorless gas has remained stubbornly difficult to reduce to safe levels. Meanwhile, a […]
Exposure to air pollution and road traffic noise over the course of many years may be associated with an increased risk of developing heart failure, and the correlation appears to be even greater in people who are former smokers or have high blood pressure, according to new research published today in the Journal of the […]
Women exposed to higher levels of air pollution during pregnancy have babies who grow unusually fast in the first months after birth, putting on excess fat that puts them at risk of obesity and related diseases later in life, new CU Boulder research shows. The study of Hispanic mother-child pairs, published this week in the […]
Exposure to particulate matter — a mixture of liquid and solid particles suspended in the air that ranges from dust to airborne transmission of viral droplets — has been harmful to human health. Research led by Maria de Fatima Andrade from the University of São Paulo in Brazil found particulate matter plays a significant role […]
A new model of aging takes into account not only genetics and environmental exposures but also the tiny changes that randomly arise at the cellular level. University Professor Caleb Finch introduced the "Tripartite Phenotype of Aging" as a new conceptual model that addresses why lifespan varies so much, even among human identical twins who share […]
Previous studies indicate that inflammation and atherosclerosis are most likely responsible for the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and cardiovascular disease and mortality. A new study has found that air pollution in the country is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases(CVD). The study shows that people most exposed to fine particles […]
The research examined 25 placentas from non-smoking women. And they found nanoparticles on the foetal side of the placenta, which correlated with the air pollution levels experienced by the mothers. In a first, a study has shown that placental barrier can be penetrated by particles breathed in by the mother. The study found air pollution […]
Polluted air and, in particular, the climate change, increasing ozone and the accelerated progression of lung emphysema. The air pollution can have similar harmful effects as you would Smoking a pack of cigarettes, so the results of a new study, which was conducted in several large US cities. The long-term effects of all major air […]
How can we protect ourselves from the increasing air pollution? According to a new study, the intake of the right vitamins could protect against travel in a city with heavy air pollution, their DNA before the development of heritable genetic damage, usually caused by the Inhalation of very fine particles. In a study of Columbia […]
