For the first time, CoEHAR researchers used the saccharin test transit time to compare the data on the regeneration of respiratory cilia among current, former and never smokers, electronic cigarette users and heated tobacco products users. The results suggest that combustion-free nicotine delivery technologies are unlikely to have detrimental effects on mucociliary clearance
The aim of the study is to investigate different in vitro toxicity methods for the assessment of ENDs toxicity. According to the Italian researchers, the most used assay, the neutral red uptake, should be combined with different tools (enlisted in the study) to better identifies the toxicity of the products and can avoid approximate and incorrect evaluation
Professor Riccardo Polosa discuss in an interview on Medical Tribune the results of his study: heated tobacco products produce fewer exacerbations and better quality of life in COPD patients compared to conventional cigarettes.
The REPLICA Project is proud to announce the third Harmonization meeting involving researchers and international partners. The two-day session is going to be held on May 26 and May 28 2021
A new study by CoEHAR, the "Role of Cigarette Smoke on Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-2 Protein Membrane Expression in Bronchial Epithelial Cells Using an Air-Liquid Interface Model" investigates the molecular mechanisms that regulate the expression of the ACE2 enzyme, involved in Covid-19 infection
The new study by CoEHAR, "Nicotine dosimetry and stability in cambridge filter PADs (CFPs) following different smoking regime protocols and storage conditions", provided new guidelines for future multicentric studies in the low-risk products
The main goal of the protocol, the research project plan, is to examine the scientific evidence on the effects of e-cigarettes on smokers from the available studies. The project includes writing a paper for doctors and health care providers, a fact sheet for people who use e-cigarettes, and a policy brief for legislators on health committees
A significant new three-year independent study on COPD and smoking has been released by the CoEHAR of the University of Catania (Italy), led by Professor Riccardo Polosa
A new study in Nicotine & Tobacco Research, published by Oxford University Press, finds that the use of high-strength nicotine e-cigarettes can help adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorders quit smoking
According to the latest study by COEHAR laboratories within the University of Catania, conducted by a group coordinated by Professor Riccardo Polosa, the risk of Covid-19 transmission with vaping is negligible, equal to 1%
