Climate changes and their elevational patterns in the mountains of the world
Quantifying rates of climate change in mountain regions is of considerable interest, not least
because mountains are viewed as climate “hotspots” where change can anticipate or …

Epithelial barrier hypothesis: effect of the external exposome on the microbiome and epithelial barriers in allergic disease
Environmental exposure plays a major role in the development of allergic diseases. The
exposome can be classified into internal (eg, aging, hormones, and metabolic processes) …
