Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, “Harmful Outcomes of Environmental and Food Pollutants on Human Health”, highlights the “Exposome Analysis and Risk Assessment Section” of multiomics, machine learning, and immunotoxicology. It examines pollutants' molecular and systemic effects on health, focusing on immune responses and signal transduction in microenvironments.
Research Areas: Exposomics and Toxicology: Using genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to uncover biomarkers of pollutant exposure and effects on cellular health.
Toxicology and Immune Impact: Insights into the immune–toxicological profiles of heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and nanoparticles.
Gut-Human Crosstalk: Analysis of pollutants' effects on human microbiomes and related health risks.
Epigenetic and Intergenerational Effects: Exploring heritable epigenetic changes from pollutants.
Advanced Toxicology Techniques: Employing high-resolution mass spectrometry and single-cell sequencing to pinpoint toxicological pathways.
