Ambient air PM2. 5 (particulate matter less than 2.5 μm in diameter) has been associated
with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but the underlying mechanisms affecting CVDs are …

Air pollutants cause changes in iron homeostasis through: 1) a capacity of the pollutant, or a
metabolite (s), to complex/chelate iron from pivotal sites in the cell or 2) an ability of the …

Exposure of cultured cells to particulate matter air pollution is usually accomplished by
collecting particles on a solid matrix, extracting the particles from the matrix, suspending …

Environmental inhalation exposures are inherently mixed (gases and particles), yet
regulations are still based on single toxicant exposures. While the impacts of individual …

The lungs are the richest in oxygen among the various organs of the body and are always
subject to harmful reactive oxygen species. Regulation of the reduction/oxidation (redox) …

Exposure to air pollution is associated with adverse health effects, with particulate matter
(PM) and ozone (O3) both indicated to be of considerable importance. Diesel engine …

Detailed knowledge on the effects of air pollutants on human health is a prerequisite for the
development of effective policies to reduce the adverse impact of ambient air pollution. The …

Exposure to particulate matter and ozone cause adverse airway reactions. Individual
pollutant effects are often addressed separately, despite coexisting in ambient air. The …

Fuel combustion conditions and atmospheric aging processes can affect the
physicochemical properties of soot particles, which further change the oxidative potential …

Resistance to anoikis is a prerequisite for tumor metastasis. The epithelial-to-mesenchymal
transition (EMT) allows tumor cells to evade anoikis. The wound-healing regulatory …
