Accelerated epigenetic age, inflammation, and gene expression in lung: comparisons of smokers and vapers with non-smokers
11 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoking and aging are the main risk factors for pulmonary diseases, including cancer. Epigenetic aging may explain the relationship between smoking, electronic cigarette vaping, and pulmonary health. No study has examined smoking and vaping-related epigenetic aging in relation to lung biomarkers. METHODS: Lung epigenetic aging measured by DNA methylation (mAge) and its acceleration (mAA) was...
