I reviewed today some of the most recent papers that Dr. Constantinos’ group and Dr. Finch’s group published in collaboration. One of Dr. Constantinos’ senior PhD graduate students (Mohammad Sowlat), sent them to me last week. Please see below. They are quite interesting. I’m amazed by the potentially severe health consequences which can result from exposure to the environment. I have long wondered what caused me to develop ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) in the 5th grade. While the specific cause is not know, environmental factors which might trigger a negative biological response is one reasonable explanation. Hopefully, it will be better understood in the future as more research is conducted.
