In mammalian embryos, the early germ cells, termed Primordial Germ Cells, undergo a highly specialized differentiation program associated with a profound reprogramming of their epigenome. Here, we tested the sensitivity of mouse primordial germ cells to a model environmental chemical, the plastic manufacturing chemical Bisphenol A (BPA), and show that while primordial germ cells may "look" normal, their molecular program is strongly affected with aberrant X-linked and retrotransposon desilencing.

Whether it's location history, land use, or future development plans, deep research is key. We’ve seen this firsthand while working in emerging smart zones like Dholera Smart City, where sustainable infrastructure and thoughtful planning make a huge difference.
