Contrasting Effects of Temperature and Precipitation on Vegetation Greenness along Elevation Gradients of the Tibetan Plateau

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is one of the most sensitive regions to global climate warming, not only at the inter-annual time scale but also at the altitudinal scale.We aim to investigate the contrasting effects of temperature and precipitation on vegetation greenness at different altitudes across the TP.In this study, interannual and elevational char

Prenatal exposure to phthalates and peripheral blood and buccal epithelial DNA methylation in infants: An epigenome-wide association study

Background: Prenatal exposure to phthalates has been associated with adverse health and neurodevelopmental outcomes.DNA methylation (DNAm) alterations may be a mechanism underlying these effects, but prior investigations of prenatal exposure to phthalates and neonatal DNAm profiles are limited to placental tissue and umbilical cord blood.Objective:
