Background: Prenatal exposure to Cannabis is a worldwide growing problem. Although retina is part of the central nervous system, the impact of maternal Cannabis use on the retinal development and its postnatal consequences remains unknown. As the prenatal period is potentially sensitive in the normal development of the retina, we hypothesized that recreational use of Cannabis during pregnancy may alter retina structure in the offspring.

- Air pollution is a big health problem around the world, especially in places like São Paulo, Brazil, where many people and cars create a lot of harmful gases and particles.
- Exposure to tiny particles in the air can hurt our DNA, and a protein called XPC helps repair this DNA damage.
- Research on mice showed that when XPC is not working properly, pollution causes more inflammation and DNA damage, proving that XPC is important for protecting against the dangers of air pollution.
