Lung proinflammatory microRNA and cytokine expression in a mouse model of allergic inflammation: role of sex chromosome complement and gonadal hormones Open
miRNAs play important roles in regulating gene and environmental interactions. However, their role in mediating sex differences in allergic responses and lung diseases has not been elucidated. Our study used a targeted omics approach to ch…

Transcriptomics analysis of allergen-induced inflammatory gene expression in the Four-Core Genotype mouse model Open
Gene expression profiling helps to provide deep insight into the global view of disease-related mechanisms and responses to therapy. Using the Four-Core Genotype mouse model, our findings revealed the influence of sex hormones and sex chro…

Thirdhand vaping exposures are associated with pulmonary and systemic inflammation in a mouse model Open
Thirdhand smoke (THS) is the accumulation of secondhand smoke on surfaces that ages with time. THS exposure is a potential health threat to children, partners of smokers, and workers in environments with current or past smoking, and needs …

Lessons from COVID-19 for Addressing Air Pollution Health Inequities: Time to Act Open
Air pollution health disparities can be reduced. The ‘triple jeopardy’ of air pollution exposures, health disparities and the COVID-19 pandemic presents a unique situation from which lessons we can learn. During the surge of the pandemic, …

The association between maternal pre‐pregnancy <span>BMI</span>, gestational weight gain and child adiposity: A racial‐ethnically diverse cohort of children Open
Summary Background The prevalence of obesity in US children has more than tripled in the past 40 years; hence, it is critical to identify potentially modifiable factors that may mitigate the risk. Objectives To examine the association betw…

Reported Neighborhood Traffic and the Odds of Asthma/Asthma-Like Symptoms: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of a Multi-Racial Cohort of Children Open
Asthma in children poses a significant clinical and public health burden. We examined the association between reported neighborhood traffic (a proxy for traffic-related air pollution) and asthma among 855 multi-racial children aged 4–8 yea…

Nicotine and Its Downstream Metabolites in Maternal and Cord Sera: Biomarkers of Prenatal Smoking Exposure Associated with Offspring DNA Methylation Open
Nicotine is a major constituent of cigarette smoke. Its primary metabolite in maternal and cord sera, cotinine, is considered a biomarker of prenatal smoking. Nicotine and cotinine half-lives are decreased in pregnancy due to their increas…
