- Generation of a healthy heavy smoker patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell line UHOMi007-A from peripheral blood mononuclear cellsby Engi Ahmed on May 9, 2024
Human pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) represent a unique opportunity to model lung development and chronic bronchial diseases. We generated a hiPSC line from a highly characterized healthy heavy smoker male donor free from emphysema or tobacco related disease. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were reprogrammed using integration-free Sendai virus. The cell line had normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency hallmarks, and differentiated into the three primary germ layers. The reported...

- Community Engagement, Jurisdictional Experience, and Previous Tobacco-Related Ordinances in Neighboring Communities as Drivers of Flavored Tobacco Bans in Los Angeles Countyby Dana Guglielmo on May 2, 2024
We examined whether a community engagement approach and jurisdictional attributes were associated with local action to restrict the sale of flavored tobacco products in Los Angeles County during 2019-2022. We estimated crude and adjusted risk ratios to examine these associations. Jurisdictions that used an active community engagement approach to adopt a flavored tobacco ban ordinance, those with previous experience adopting other tobacco-related ordinances, and those located next to communities...
