    Cardiovascular health risk posed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and ultrafine particles. 

    Asweto, Collins O. (2018-01)
    There is increased cardiovascular disease incidence attributed to ambient air pollution. It is estimated that ischaemic heart disease and stroke account for 80% of ambient air pollutionrelated early deaths. The most ...

    Cellular pathways involved in silica nanoparticles induced apoptosis: A systematic review of in vitro studies. 

    Asweto, Collins O.; Wu, J.; Alzain, M. A.; Hu, H.; Andrea, S.; Feng, L.; Yeng, X.; Duan, J.; Sun, Z. (Elsevier, 2017-12)
    Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have been found to pass through biological barriers and get distributed in the human body. They induce cell apoptosis via various mechanisms in body organs. To understand these mechanisms, we ...

    Genome-wide transcriptional analysis of cardiovascular-related genes and pathways induced by PM2. 5 in human myocardial cells. 

    Feng, L.; Yang, X.; Asweto, Collins O.; Wu, J.; Zhang, Y.; Hu, H.; Shi, Y.; Duan, J.; Sun, Z. (2017-04)
    Air pollution has been a major environment-related health threat. Most of the studies on PM2.5 toxicity have verified on the cardiovascular system and endothelial cells. However, researches on PM2.5-induced myocardial-related ...

    Gene profiles to characterize the combined toxicity induced by low level co-exposure of silica nanoparticles and benzo[a]pyrene using whole genome microarrays in zebrafish embryos. 

    Asweto, Collins O.; Hu, H; Liang, S.; Wang, L.; Liu, M.; Yang, H.; Duan, J.; Sun, Z. (Elsevier, 2018-07)
    Several studies have suggested that air pollutants combine exposure have greater adverse effects. However, limited studies were available on the combined toxicity of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). ...

    Telomere Length and Accelerated Biological Aging in the China Suboptimal Health Cohort: A Case-Control Study 

    Alzain, M. A.; Asweto, Collins O.; Zhang, J.; Fang, H. H.; Zhao, Z.; Guo, X.; Song, M.; Zhou, Y.; Chang, N.; Wang, Y.; Wang, W. (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2017-06)
    Suboptimal health status (SHS) has been linked to cardiovascular risk factors, psychosocial stress, and unhealthy lifestyle. These factors also contribute to the shortening of telomere length (TL). A case–control study was ...

    Fine particulate matter induces vascular endothelial activation 4 via IL-6 dependent JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway. Toxicol. 

    Hu, H.; Wu, J.; Li, Q.; Asweto, Collins O.; Lin, F.; Xiaozhe, Y.; Duan, F.; Duan, J.; Sun, Z. (2016-04)
    Exposure to PM2.5 has been strongly linked to endothelial dysfunction. However, the underlying mechanism of PM2.5 on the vascular endothelial function is poorly understood. This study examined the toxic effect and ...
