Understanding Racial Disparities in Exposure to Traffic-Related Air Pollution: Considering the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Population Distribution
(2020-02-01)
This study investigates the effect of spatiotemporal distributions of racial groups on
disparities in exposure to traffic-related air pollution by considering people’s daily movement
patterns. Due to human mobility, a ...
TLR5 participates in the TLR4 receptor complex and promotes MyD88- dependent signaling in environmental lung injury
(2020-01-28)
Lung disease causes significant morbidity and mortality, and is exacerbated by environmental injury, for example through lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or ozone (O3). Toll-like receptors (TLRs) orchestrate immune responses to ...
The Proton-Sensing GPR4 Receptor Regulates Paracellular Gap Formation and Permeability of Vascular Endothelial Cells
(2020-02-21)
be activated by protons in the inflamed tissue microenvironment. Herein, we report that acidosis-induced GPR4 activation increases paracellular gap formation and permeability of vascular endothelialcells through the ...
Health effects from exposure to atmospheric mineral dust near Las Vegas, NV, USA
(2016-09)
Desert areas are usually characterized by a continuous deposition of fine airborne particles. Over time, this process results in the accumulation of silt and clay on desert surfaces. We evaluated health effects associated ...

(2019-01-07)
In this Position Statement, the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) provides an objective and critical review of the literature pertinent to nutritional considerations for training and racing in single-stage ...
Plant genome editing with TALEN and CRISPR
(2017-04-24)
Genome editing promises giant leaps forward in advancing biotechnology, agriculture, and basic research. The process relies on the use of sequence specific nucleases (SSNs) to make DNA double stranded breaks at user defined ...
