TL;DR: Air pollution has both acute and chronic effects on human health, affecting a number of different systems and organs, and ranges from minor upper respiratory irritation to chronic respiratory and heart disease, lung cancer, acute respiratory infections in children and chronic bronchitis in adults.

TL;DR: Phenolic acids exert a direct antiproliferative action, evident at low concentrations, comparable with those found in biological fluids after ingestion of foods rich in phenolic acids.

TL;DR: The effects of polyphenols on cancer cell fate, leading towards growth, differentiation and apoptosis are reviewed, and clues about their possible pharmaceutical exploitation in the field of oncology are provided.

TL;DR: It is reported that dihydrotestosterone and the non‐internalizable analog testosterone‐BSA increase rapidly the release of prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) in the culture medium and modifies the intracellular dynamic equilibrium of monomeric to filamentous actin and remodels profoundly the actin cytoskeleton organization.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that PI-3 kinase is activated downstream of FAK and upstream of Cdc42/Rac1, which subsequently regulate the actin organization, implying that the signaling events described above are responsible for the testosterone-BSA-induced PSA secretion.
