Cell Biol Toxicol. 2021 Jul 31. doi: 10.1007/s10565-021-09638-5. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Epidemiological evidence has shown that fine particulate matter (PM2.5)-triggered inflammatory cascades are pivotal causes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the specific molecular mechanism involved in PM2.5-induced COPD has not been clarified. Herein, we found that PM2.5 significantly downregulated miR-149-5p and …

ABSTRACT Exercise-related lower leg pain (ERLLP) is one of the most prevalent running-related injuries, however little is known about injured runners’ mechanics during outdoor running. Establishing biomechanical alterations among ERLLP runners would help guide clinical interventions. Therefore, we sought to a) identify defining biomechanical …
