Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are chemicals that can interfere with normal
endocrine signals. Human exposure to EDCs is particularly concerning during vulnerable …

Increasing evidence has associated the exposure of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)
with the cardiovascular (CV) system. This exposure is particularly problematic in a sensitive …

Background: The first evidence of micro-and nanoplastic (MNP) exposure in the human
placenta is emerging. However, the toxicokinetics and toxicity of MNPs in the placenta …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are developmental neurotoxicants implicated as
environmental risk factors for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Here, we report the …

Micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) are ubiquitous in the environment and have recently been
found in human lungs, blood and placenta. However, data on the possible effects of MNPs …

Many phenols are known to mimic or antagonize hormonal activities and may adversely
affect fetal growth. A study of 567 pregnant women was conducted to investigate the …

Tremendous efforts have been directed to investigate the ontogeny of drug transporters in
fetuses, neonates, infants, and children based on their importance for understanding drug …

Over the decades several ex vivo and in vitro models which utilize delivered human
placenta have been developed to study various placental functions. The use of models …

Background Advances in biomedical nanotechnology raise hopes in patient populations but
may also raise questions regarding biodistribution and biocompatibility, especially during …

Introduction The burden of environmental chemicals in the human population is ubiquitous
and especially problematic in pregnancy due to potential exposure of the vulnerable fetus …
