Sex-Specific Associations of Gestational OPE Exposure with Offspring Digit Ratio: A Birth Cohort Study

Abstract The effect of prenatal organophosphate esters (OPEs) exposure on offspring reproductive development and the potential role of the placenta remain unclear. We investigated the associations of prenatal OPE exposure with the second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) and the medi...

Extensive tandem repeat repertoires in ranid frogs and the role of transposable elements in their evolution

Tandem repeats (satellite DNA) are prevalent in eukaryotic genomes and contribute to chromosome organization and genome evolution. Amphibians possess unusually large, repeat-rich genomes and therefore provide a valuable system for investigating the origin, diversity, and genomic...

Laser-Induced Graphene Electrochemical Sensors for Rapid and Portable Environmental Pollutant Detection

Environmental pollution is a major global challenge that adversely affects human health, biodiversity, and ecosystems. In this regard, the development of portable and wearable sensing technologies has become increasingly important for real-time, on-site monitoring of environmenta...
