Each episode of the Physiological Reviews podcast features commentary and discussion of newly published articles in the journal, which provides state-of-the-art, comprehensive, and high-impact coverage of timely issues in the physiological and biomedical sciences. Physiological Reviews articles appeal to physiologists, neuroscientists, cell biologists, biophysicists, and clinicians with special interest in pathophysiology. The journal is very useful in teaching and research because it provides non-biased and clearly written updates on important developments.
Antibody-drug Conjugate Design and Function for Cancer Treatment
In this episode Editor-in-Chief Dr. Sadis Matalon (University of Alabama Birmingham) interviews author Dr. Sophia N.

Impact of Vaping on the Immune System
In this episode Editor-in-Chief Dr. Sadis Matalon (University of Alabama Birmingham) interviews author Dr. Laura Crotty Alexander (University of California, San Diego) about the recently published Review article by Masso-Silva et al. on the impact of e-cigarette vaping on the immune system across the body. We discuss in depth how vaping limits the ability of alveolar macrophages to protect the body from pathogens, and cover the impact of vaping on T cells, the powerhouse cells of adaptive immunity, to respond robustly to tumor antigens. Does vaping impact the rate of tumor growth in cancer patients, particularly breast cancer and prostate cancer? Listen now to learn much more.
