Nuclear hormone receptors control fundamental processes of human fetal neurodevelopment: Basis for endocrine disruption assessment

Abstract excerpt

Despite growing awareness of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), knowledge gaps remain regarding their effects on human brain development. EDC risk assessment focuses primarily on EATS modalities (estrogens, androgens, thyroid hormones, and steroidogenesis), overlooking the broader range of hormone receptors expressed in the developing brain. This limits the evaluation of chemicals for their potential to cause...
