Epidemiologic studies have associated exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) with
exacerbations of asthma. It is unknown how different sources of PM affect innate immunity …

Particulate matter, such as diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), modulate adaptive immune
responses in the lung; however, their mechanism of action remains largely unclear …

Exposure to air pollution containing diesel exhaust particulate (DEP) is linked to adverse
cardiovascular events. This study tested the hypothesis that DEP not only causes direct …

BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies show that exposure to ambient particulate matter
leads to asthma exacerbation. Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), a model pollutant, act as an …

Increased exposure to air pollutants such as diesel exhaust particles (DEP) has been
proposed as one mechanism to explain the rise in allergic disorders. However, the …

BACKGROUND: The inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) is associated with
increased sensitization toward inhaled allergens. Dendritic cells (DCs) are important …

Human exposure to air pollutants, including ambient particulate matter, has been proposed
as a mechanism for the rise in allergic disorders. Diesel exhaust particles, a major …

Prevalence of asthma is increasing in westernized countries. Epidemiological studies
showed the impact of traffic pollution on the triggering of asthma symptoms and …

Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) are known to modulate the production of cytokines
associated with acute and chronic respiratory symptoms and allergic respiratory disease …

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM), an ingredient of urban pollution matter, is a mixture of
solid and liquid particles differing in origin, dimension and composition. There is big concern …
