Featured article: Air pollution-induced placental alterations: an interplay of oxidative stress, epigenetics, and the aging phenotype?

In this review, the authors provide an overview of air pollution-induced placental molecular alterations observed in the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort and evaluate the existing evidence. In general, we showed that prenatal exposure to air pollution is associated with nitrosative stress and epigenetic alterations in the placenta. This is part of the Pollution & Epigenetics collection.
