E-cigarette exposure with or without heating the e-liquid induces differential remodeling in the lungs and right heart of mice

This study investigated the differential adverse effects of heating-associated by-products versus the intact components of EC aerosol to the lungs and heart of mice. We further dissected the roles of caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 9 (CARD9)-associated innate immune response and NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in EC exposure-induced cardiopulmonary injury.
