This NIH-funded research investigates the long-term cardiopulmonary effects of dual cigarette and e-cigarette use in animal models to support data-driven regulation of e-cigarette devices.
Description
Research project focusing on the health effects of dual cigarette and e-cigarette use in animal models, with implications for regulation and public health policy. The project aims to expose hypercholesterolemic and wild-type mice to various aerosols and cigarette smoke, measure mechanical properties of cardiovascular and pulmonary tissues, and characterize tissue microstructure to identify factors contributing to functional changes.
