NIH-funded project investigating how prenatal exposure to obesogens causes transgenerational obesity through epigenetic changes in chromatin structure and gene regulation in germ cells.
Description
This NIH-funded research project aims to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms by which prenatal exposure to obesogens like TBT influences obesity across generations, with a focus on chromatin structure alterations and gene regulation in germ cells.
