In this narrative review, we summarize the literature and provide updates on recent studies
of air pollution exposures and child lung function and lung function growth. We include …

Background Ozone effects on lung function are particularly important to understand in the
context of the air pollution-health outcomes epidemiologic literature, given the complex …

Background: There are well-documented disparities in lung cancer outcomes across
populations. Lung cancer screening (LCS) has the potential to reduce lung cancer mortality …

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by SARS-CoV-2, an emerging
virus that utilizes host proteins ACE2 and TMPRSS2 as entry factors. Understanding the …

Lung function in early life has been shown to be an important predictor for peak lung
function in adults and later decline. Reduced lung function per se is associated with …

The type 2 cytokine-high asthma endotype (T2H) is characterized by IL-13-driven mucus
obstruction of the airways. To further investigate this incompletely understood pathobiology …

Background Although poor-urban (inner-city) areas are thought to have high asthma
prevalence and morbidity, we recently found that inner cities do not have higher prevalent …

To identify genetic determinants of airway dysfunction, we performed a transcriptome-wide
association study for asthma by combining RNA-seq data from the nasal airway epithelium …

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes vary from asymptomatic infection to death.
This disparity may reflect different airway levels of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor, ACE2, and the …

Résumé The rising frequency of obstructive respiratory diseases during recent years, in
particular allergic asthma, can be partially explained by changes in the environment, with …
