New Biomarkers Link Air Pollution to Cardiovascular Disease via Mitochondria

Researchers at UCLA Health have identified new blood biomarkers, including long-chain dicarboxylate acids and acyl-carnitines, that reveal how air pollution impairs mitochondrial function and raises cardiovascular disease risk. This discovery, published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, provides deeper insight into the cellular damage caused by air pollution exposure in both mice and humans.
