Nicotine Controlof Germline Cell Fate in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2015-05)Nicotine dependence is the single largest cause of preventable death in the world, claiming 480,000 lives each year in the US alone, including those caused by secondhand smoke. In this study, we investigated the biological ... -
Nicotine exposure and transgenerational impact: a prospective study on small regulatory microRNAs
(2014-12-17)Early developmental stages are highly sensitive to stress and it has been reported that pre-conditioning with tobacco smoking during adolescence predisposes those youngsters to become smokers as adults. However, the molecular ... -
Nicotine exposure caused significant transgenerational heritable behavioral changes in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2013-09)Passive and active exposure to tobacco smoking among youth is directly associated with immediate as well as long-term health deterioration. Despite all public health policies and efforts, the percentage of teenage smokers ... -
