Disease relevant modifications of the methylome and transcriptome by particulate matter (PM2.5) from biomass combustion

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is recognized as a major health hazard, but molecular responses are still insufficiently described. We analyzed the epigenetic impact of ambient PM2.5 from biomass combustion on the methylome of primary human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells using the Illumina H...
