After subconjunctival injection of CD11c+DCs from PM2.5-treated allergic conjunctivitis (AC) mice into naïve mice, T cell responses and OVA-specific IgE were also enhanced. Data suggest that traffic-related PM2.5 exacerbated allergic conjunctivitis as evidenced by increased infiltration of inflammatory cells into the conjunctiva and Th2 responses in the draining LNs associated with enhanced maturation of DCs. Our findings provide new insight into the hazardous potential of traffic-related PM2.5 on allergic diseases, such as asthma or atopic dermatitis.Opioid related drug overdose deaths are a leading cause of death and injury in the United States. While research demonstrates that where people live has a major impact on drug use and abuse, most work looks at social dynamics at the county level or under the rubric of the urban/rural divide. Only recently, scholarship has become attuned to the post-industrialized areas located on the fringes of urban cores. Data presented in here are from field research conducted in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, a small river town located east of Pittsburgh. Once a thriving industrial city, it is now deteriorated and has documented high levels of overdose experience. Preliminary results suggest that McKeesport residents, even before the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), practice social and physical distancing as a way of life; data indicate how the pandemic potentially exacerbates the risk of accidental opioid overdose among a population defined by both geographic and social isolation.Sleep difficulties are pervasive in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet how sleep problems relate to underlying biological mechanisms such as genetic etiology is unclear, despite recent reports of profound sleep problems in children with ASD-associated de novo likely gene disrupting (dnLGD) m
