Collaborative research from Prof. Carolyn Baglole's group has demonstrated sex-specific differences in how the lungs and heart respond to e-cigarette exposure. Given the prevalence of vaping in youth populations, these important findings have made their way into mainstream news. Check out the CTV News article and video profiling the research, with comments from Prof. Baglole.

For details on the science, two recent studies can be consulted in the journals cited below. The first authors in each case are graduate trainees from Prof. Baglole's group at the RI-MUHC.

The RI-MUHC also wrote a great article highlighting these achievements, which can be read on McGill Health e-News.
