Abstract:: ... Airborne fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) is known to cause respiratory inflammation such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung fibrosis. NLRP3 inflammasome activation has been implicated in these diseases; however, due to the complexity in PM₂.₅ compositions, it is difficult to differentiate the roles of the components in triggering this pathway. We collected eight real-life PM₂.₅ samp ...

Abstract:: ... BACKGROUND: Despite extensive research, many questions remain unanswered about common problems that impact dog welfare, particularly where there are multiple contributing factors that can occur months or years before the problem becomes apparent. The Generation Pup study is the first longitudinal study of dogs that recruits pure- and mixed-breed puppies, aiming to investigate the relative influenc ...
