Effect of sub-chronic exposure to cigarette smoke, electronic cigarette and waterpipe on human lung epithelial barrier function

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2020
Background Taking into consideration a recent surge of a lung injury condition associated with electronic cigarette use, we devised an in vitro model of sub-chronic exposure of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) in air-liquid interface, to ...

E-Cigarettes and Similar Devices [PDF]

open access: yesPediatrics, 2019
This Policy Statement was reaffirmed August 2025. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are the most commonly used tobacco product among youth. The 2016 US Surgeon General’s Report on e-cigarette use among youth and young adults concluded that e-cigarettes are unsafe for children and adolescents.

Bioprinted Stiffness‑Tunable Pancreatic Microniches to Decode Early Tumor Initiation Mechanisms

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Stiffness‐tunable GelMA microniches generated by microvalve bioprinting preserve wild‐type acinar identity while revealing a nonlinear, Kras‐dependent response to matrix mechanics. Intermediate stiffness promotes acinar‐to‐ductal metaplasia and proliferation, defining a permissive mechanical window.

A Wearable Microfluidic Sweat‐Patch Pilot Study for Detecting Breast‐Cancer Proteins CEA and PIP/GCDFP‐15

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A passive capillary‐driven microfluidic patch standardizes noninvasive sweat collection from the axilla and chest during exercise. Paired sweat and capillary blood samples enable laboratory ELISA analysis of CEA and PIP. CEA is detectable but often below quantification limits, while PIP remains undetectable in sweat.

Copper‐Driven Epithelial Barrier Disruption: A Novel Mechanism of COPD Acute Exacerbations Mediated by the TNF‐α/ATP7A Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a copper‐driven mechanism of COPD acute exacerbations mediated by the TNF‐α/ATP7A axis. TNF‐α suppresses the copper transporter ATP7A via competitive NF‐κB/CREB1/CBP signaling, resulting in intracellular copper accumulation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, and epithelial barrier disruption.

A General High‐Throughput Mucus Microrheology Platform for Quantitative and Scalable Mucus Phenotyping

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐throughput Differential Dynamic Microscopy measures frequency‐resolved mechanical fingerprints from 3 to 10 μL$\umu{\rm L}$ mucus samples using only a few minutes of operator attention per sample. This automated analysis enables scalable mucus phenotyping for translational research by distinguishing mechanical heterogeneity among donors, disease ...

Extracellular Vesicle Packaged TDP43 Derived From ECs Exacerbates Cigarette Tar‐Related Atherosclerosis Progression via Enhancing Macrophage Extracellular Traps

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cigarette tar triggers EC‐derived EVs carrying TDP43, which binds VDAC1 to boost MAMs, mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, and METs formation in macrophages, accelerating smoking‐related AS progression, while retinoic acid binds TDP43 to block this pathogenic cascade.

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette)

open access: yesJournal of Oncological Sciences, 2016
Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) is a device developed with an intent to enable smokers to quit smoking and avoid the unhealthful effects of cigarettes. The popularity of e-cigarette has increased rapidly in recent years. The increase in its use during

ACAT1‐Mediated SP1‐K694 Lactylation Promotes M1 Macrophage Polarization via TREM1 Transcription in COPD

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon cigarette smoke exposure(CSE), LDHA expression is increased in lung macrophages, promoting the conversion of pyruvate to lactate and elevating the lactylation level of SP1 at the K694 site. This, in turn, enhances SP1 enrichment at the TREM1 promoter, increases TREM1 expression, promoted M1 macrophage polarization, and triggers the secretion of ...
