Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A diverse array of environmental stressors, from pollution to dietary habits and occupational exposure, can significantly influence various physiological processes within the human body, leading to morphological alterations and clinical manifestations. The present Special Issue intends to examine the intricate interplay between environmental factors and human health, exploring morphological and physiological aspects alongside clinical implications. Through a comprehensive examination of in vivo and in vitro approaches, this Special Issue aims to shed light on the multifaceted impacts of environmental and lifestyle factors on human health and disease. By employing cutting-edge research methodologies including but not limited to biomarker analysis, advanced imaging techniques, and cellular models, this Special Issue will elucidate the underlying mechanisms linking environmental exposure and health outcomes. Moreover, by integrating findings from epidemiological studies with experimental evidence, the present Special Issue offers valuable insights into the prevention and management of environmentally induced health conditions. Ultimately, this collection of contributions serves as a vital resource for researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers; herein, we will foster a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between our environment and human health and disease, thus paving the way for informed decision making and targeted interventions to safeguard public health in our ever-evolving world.
