New publication: "Sex-Dependent Epigenomic and Transcriptomic Reprogramming Links Maternal Obesity to Cardiac Remodeling in Adult Offspring"

Our latest study shows that maternal obesity reshapes cardiac epigenetic regulation and gene expression differently in male and female offspring, shedding new light on the developmental origins of cardiovascular disease.
