Association between blood pressure and DNA methylation of retrotransposons and pro-inflammatory genesStacey E Alexeeff
Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston MA 02215, USA
Int J Epidemiol 42:270-80. 2013..We examined the relation of BP to the methylation of retrotransposon sequences of DNA and of selected candidate genes...
Medium-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution and markers of inflammation and endothelial functionStacey E Alexeeff
Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA
Environ Health Perspect 119:481-6. 2011..Exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) contributes to increased cardiovascular risk. Land-use regression models can improve exposure assessment for TRAP...

Department of Epidemiology, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA
Occup Environ Med 69:422-7. 2012..The main objective was to assess the relationship between long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution and blood pressure (BP)...
Ambient pollutants, polymorphisms associated with microRNA processing and adhesion molecules: the Normative Aging StudyElissa H Wilker
Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Unit, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA
Environ Health 10:45. 2011..We also investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA-processing genes modify these associations...
Residential black carbon exposure and circulating markers of systemic inflammation in elderly males: the normative aging studyShona C Fang
Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Environ Health Perspect 120:674-80. 2012..Traffic-related particles (TRPs) are associated with adverse cardiovascular events. The exact mechanisms are unclear, but systemic inflammatory responses likely play a role...
Ozone exposure and lung function: effect modified by obesity and airways hyperresponsiveness in the VA normative aging studyStacey E Alexeeff
Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Landmark Center West, 415, 401 Park Dr, Boston, MA 02215, USA
