An assessment of organophosphate ester mixtures and the placental transcriptome
Prenatal exposure to organophosphate ester (OPE) chemicals, commonly used as flame retardants and plasticizers, has been associated with adverse birth…

Check out Mariana's first Paquette Lab paper on Vit D and the placental transcriptome
I am delighted to share the first paper to come out of my postdoc analyzing prenatal vitamin D levels measured at mid-pregnancy and delivery and their association with transcriptome-wide placental gene expression
