4. Fuzhou University research shows that electronic cigarettes are significantly less harmful than traditional cigarettes

On November 5, the global authoritative journal of toxicology "In vivo Toxicology" published a paper by the team of Associate Researcher Yu Suhong of Fuzhou University. This study used exosome proteomics technology for the first time to compare the effects of e-cigarettes and cigarettes on human bronchial epithelial cells. Exosomes are small intracellular membrane vesicles that contain complex RNA and proteins and can be used as biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of diseases such as cancer.

Studies have shown that cigarette condensates lead to more differences in the expression of exosomal proteins in cells, and are significantly enriched in intracancerous pathways; while e-cigarettes cause fewer differences. At the same time, toxicology studies have found that cigarette condensate significantly inhibits cell activity, while e-cigarette condensate has no similar negative effects, suggesting that e-cigarettes have relatively little cytotoxicity.
