In the tissue regeneration field, stem cell transplantation represents a promising therapeutic strategy. To favor their implantation, proliferation and differentiation need to be controlled. Several studies have demonstrated that stem cell fate can be controlled by applying continuous electric field stimulation.

In particular, phthalates, poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances are proposed to trigger toxic effects as well as persistent changes on human development and metabolism by different mechanisms, including epigenetic modifications, although the specific underlying pathways are still unknown. This study contributes to identify the potential molecular initiating events of epigenetic-mediated adverse effects by an approach, which combines molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation.
