Asbestos Mineral Fibre Exposure Significantly Affects Volatile Organic Compound Profiles of Mesothelial Cell Lines In Vitro

This study shows asbestos mineral fiber exposure changes VOC profiles in mesothelioma cell lines, suggesting potential biomarkers for asbestos exposure.

A non-invasive method of air pollutant exposure in an avian model of development

This paper introduces a non-invasive method for exposing chicken embryos to carbon monoxide and demonstrates its reliability and safety for teratogenicity studies.

Micro-CT: A reversible contrast-based protocol for non-destructive imaging of cardiac morphology in an avian model.

This study develops a micro-CT protocol for 3D cardiac morphology imaging in avian embryos, followed by antigen preservation for downstream analysis.

Impact of carbon monoxide on neural activation during a reaction time task

This study examines the effects of low-level carbon monoxide exposure on reaction times and BOLD fMRI activation during a simple reaction time task in healthy participants.

Impact of carbon monoxide on early cardiac development in an avian model

This study exposes chick embryos to carbon monoxide at different concentrations and finds reduced heart weight and increased ventricular wall thickness, suggesting CO affects cardiac development even at low levels.

Treating the lungs via the brain: Mechanisms underpinning improvements in breathlessness with pulmonary rehabilitation.

This study shows pulmonary rehabilitation reduces breathlessness in COPD by altering brain activity related to learned associations, with greater baseline brain activity linked to larger treatment benefits.

Imaging seminiferous tubules - a 9.4T MRI mouse model

This paper evaluates high-field MRI as a non-invasive method to assess testicular structure in mice, finding it comparable to histology for measuring seminiferous tubule volume and diameter.

Low-Level Carbon Monoxide Exposure Affects BOLD FMRI

This study shows low-level CO exposure reduces BOLD FMRI signals during specific tasks, suggesting CO may confound neuroimaging results.
