Abstract
In the last three decades studies of respiration have embarked on a new phase eliciting exciting new areas of investigation. At this juncture we are happy to contribute a brief article honoring NS Cherniack. During this transition period, features like oxygen sensing in the carotid body in the context of whole body has emerged. ATP has been proposed as a key mediator of peripheral chemosensory transduction at sea level. What role it can play at altitude acclimatization has not been discussed before. This brief review article raises some of the question looking for answers.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
