Genetic, environmental and life-style effects on androgen receptor function
… be modulated by persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Humans are exposed mainly through food intake, but also from industrial processes and cigarette smoking. The dioxin-like POPs exert their effect through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), shown to interact with the AR. The aims were to …

The Social Life of Privately-Owned Public Spaces: Investigating the history and social outcomes of POPS—one of the most powerful tools for creating public space in modern American cities.
… area of cities: privately-owned public spaces (POPS). The tools that cities and real estate developers employ to build these spaces are some of the most effective for creating public spaces in urban environments. But while the quantity of POPS has grown significantly across the county, the …

Examining the effects of environmental compounds on influenza virus ecology
… specifically persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the context of marine mammals, affect the replication of IAV using an in vitro approach. While it is known that POPs can suppress the immune response in animals to increase susceptibility to infectious disease, I found that POPs interact …

Associations of Persistent Organic Pollutants Exposure with Coronary Heart Disease and Hearing Loss
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are endocrine-disrupting chemicals associated with adverse health outcomes. Emerging evidence suggests that POP exposure may contribute to chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease (CHD) and hearing loss, potentially through inflammatory pathways. …

Investigating persistent organic pollutants as endocrine disruptors of androgen receptor signalling
… in those exposed. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a class of organic compounds that are structurally resistant to processes of degradation and thus are ubiquitous in the environment upon release. Due to their long elimination half-lives and affinity for lipid-rich tissue, POPs have a …
