Prenatal PM2.5 exposure disrupts cortical excitatory/inhibitory balance in male offspring by suppressing Lhx8-regulated cholinergic homeostasis and cell adhesion.
Prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a critical risk factor for neurodevelopmental impairment in male offspring; however, its effects on synaptic development and the underlying transcription factor (TF) regulatory networks remain poorly understood. To address this, we established a mouse model of pre...
