Advances in Organ-on-a-Chip Technology to Examine the Impact of Air Pollutants on Epithelial Barrier Tissues
It is estimated that 99 % of the world population is exposed to air pollution above air quality guidelines and this is responsible for 6.7 million pre…

Just out: Simple-Flow: A 3D-Printed Multiwell Flow Plate to Coculture Primary Human Lung Cells at the Air–Liquid Interface: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Iriondo, Koornneef ... Rottier et al. show the versatility of 3D-printing technology in designing in vitro models for cell culturing applications.
Simple-Flow: A 3D-Printed Multiwell Flow Plate to Coculture Primary Human Lung Cells at the Air–Liquid Interface
Immortalized epithelial cell lines and animal models have been used in fundamental and preclinical research to study pulmonary diseases. However valuable, though, these models incompletely recapitulat...

Check this publication on the effects of 30kph zones. They state that while a reduction in road dangers is clear, there are still gaps in knowledge on the positive health effects that should be addressed in future research. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
