11. Phthalates: A Full Chain Story : Connecting phthalate sources, indoor dust, human intake, and airway symptoms in children
Abstract : Phthalates are widely used in a large number of consumer goods and building materials from which they can leach and contaminate the environment such as indoor dust and air. It is unclear how phthalate sources in our homes and indoor dust contribute to human intake and airway symptoms in children. READ MORE

12. Redox-regulation of PTPs : mechanisms and impact on PDGFR signaling
Abstract : Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are reversibly oxidized upon activation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFβR). Dys-regulation of the PDGFβR signaling pathway is associated with several diseases, including cancers and cardiovascular disease, and is thus a known driver of disease progression. READ MORE

13. Cookstoves, Candles, and Phthalates – Real Time Physicochemical Characterization and Human Exposure to Indoor Aerosols
Abstract : Exposure to air pollution is associated with adverse health effects in humans, with special concern for exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The physicochemical properties of aerosols impact the health effects. READ MORE

14. Characterizing chemical exposure : focus on children's environment
Abstract : Children are constantly exposed to chemicals in food, water, dust, air and consumer products. Compared to adults, children often have a higher exposure to chemicals due to physical and behavioural factors. Because of their unique exposure patterns, exposure assessments in adults are not directly transferrable to children. READ MORE

15. Epac2 signaling at the β-cell plasma membrane
Abstract : Secretion of appropriate amounts of insulin from pancreatic β-cells is crucial for glucose homeostasis. The β-cells release insulin in response to glucose and other nutrients, hormones and neurotransmitters, which trigger intracellular signaling cascades, that result in exocytotic fusion of insulin-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane.
