Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are pervasive environmental hazards that have been linked to osteoporosis (OP), though causal mechanisms remain elusive. Employing an integrated multiomics framework, this study combined bidirectional Mendelian r...
BACKGROUND: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common male sexual disorder with a multifactorial etiology. The exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been increasingly linked to reproductive health disorders in both men and women. EDCs can...
Emerging contaminants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), nanoplastics, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), pose significant threats to water quality due to their persistence, toxicity, and resistance to conventional treatme...
Prostate cancer (PCa) pathogenesis involves complex interactions between genetic susceptibility and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This study aimed to systematically identify key genes linking EDC exposure to PCa using an integrat...

OBJECTIVE: Evidence from prior studies indicates that certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as phenols and phthalates, may serve as environmental risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, no studies have ex...
Thyroid disorders are among the most prevalent endocrine conditions worldwide, exhibiting a rising incidence and disproportionately affecting women. In this study, we hypothesized that cosmetics may contain previously unidentified thyroid-disrupting ...
Environmental estrogens (EEs), as typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), can bind to classic estrogen receptors (ERs) to induce genomic effects, as well as to G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) located on the membrane, thereby inducin...
Early-life exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may contribute to small vulnerable newborns, including conditions such as being small for gestational age (SGA) and preterm birth (PTB), yet evidence remains limited. This study, which is b...
The androgen receptor (AR) activation by androgens is vital for tissue development, sexual differentiation, and reproductive attributes in zebrafish (). However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind their activation remains limited. I...
A paradigm of chemical risk assessment is continuously extending from focusing on 'single substances' to more comprehensive approaches that examines the combined toxicity among different components in 'mixtures.' This change aims to account for the c...
