Living in cities that have more trees—and less grass and shrubs—was linked with decreased risk of heart disease, according to a new study co-authored by researchers from Harvard Chan School.
New research from Harvard Chan School shows that, during asthma flare-ups, the mechanical “squeezing” of the airway known as bronchoconstriction can trigger responses in the epithelial cells—those that line the airway—that make bronchoconstriction worsen and persist, creating a self-reinforcing cycle that may contribute to asthma progression.
A column in the new publication, Nature Health, on “The human airborne exposome,” suggests that current methods of measuring and studying the health impacts of air pollution may be inadequate. Peng Gao, Assistant Professor…
Detailed information about the current and former smoking habits of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can shed light on the best way to treat them—whether with a combination…
The EPA will scrap its longstanding practice of calculating the economic benefits related to human health when it sets air pollution limits. Pulmonologist Mary Rice is worried about the health impacts.
Harvard Chan School researchers have discovered a new method for delivering biological “cargo” directly into specific cells using tiny, naturally produced particles called ARMMs (ARRDC1-mediated microvesicles).
Christopher Golden has a singular mission: to explore the interconnectedness of human and ecosystem health, and to use the results of his research to inform policies that help both flourish.
A specific genetic difference in a gene called RTP5—known to be involved in smell and taste perception—was linked to a higher risk of early death in patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19, a study found.
In Massachusetts, residential proximity to a nuclear power plant was associated with significantly increased cancer incidence, with risk declining by distance, according to a new Harvard Chan School study.
