UP Diliman researchers discover vaping induces cancer-like cell behavior through increased VALT1 levels.Summary
Scientists from the University of the Philippines Diliman have found that vaping exposure increases levels of the molecule VALT1, leading to cancer-like changes in cells, such as faster multiplication, resistance to cell death, and structural alterations. This study, published in Non-Coding RNA, explains how e-cigarette vapor affects lung cells and provides evidence that vaping is not safe, with long-term effects requiring further research.
