Persistent transcriptomic changes following repeated exposure to wood smoke in non-human primate airway epithelial cells

This study identifies persistent transcriptomic and epigenomic changes in non-human primate airway epithelial cells after wood smoke exposure, revealing lasting molecular effects despite no visible histological changes.

Long-term effects of wildfire smoke exposure during early-life on the nasal epigenome in rhesus macaques

This study identifies long-term epigenetic changes in rhesus macaques exposed to wildfire smoke during early life, showing methylation differences and gene expression changes linked to immune and nervous system processes.
