Wildfire Smoke Exposure Accelerates Age-Related Functional Decline in Caenorhabditis elegans

Wildfire smoke (WFS) is an expanding source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) with well-documented cardiopulmonary risks, yet its impact on organismal aging and functional decline remains incompletely understood. Here we use the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to characterize th...
