Relationship between Cytotoxicity and Surface Oxidation of Artificial Black Carbon
The lacking of laboratory black carbon (BC) samples have long challenged the corresponding toxicological research; furthermore, the toxicity tests of engineered carbon nanoparticles were unable to reflect atmospheric BC. As a simplified approach, we have

Pharmacokinetic study of thymol after intravenous injection and high-dose inhalation in mouse model. [PDF]
Thymol is generally recognized as a safe substance by the FDA and has been widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies of thymol have been previously conducted for oral administration, but there has been

Using the Isolated Rat Placenta to Assess Fetoplacental Hemodynamics
Placental health is critical to fetal growth and maternal health during gestation. However, investigating placental flow in an ex-vivo isolated system where inflow is independently controlled has yet to be developed in the rat.

Lung-gut axis of microbiome alterations following co-exposure to ultrafine carbon black and ozone
Background Microbial dysbiosis is a potential mediator of air pollution-induced adverse outcomes. However, a systemic comparison of the lung and gut microbiome alterations and lung-gut axis following air pollution exposure is scant.
