Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Su-mei Wu"
- Su-Mei Wu's research focuses on the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as bisphenol A and diethyl phthalate, on the development and health of zebrafish, particularly emphasizing maternal exposure and its generational impacts.
- Recent findings highlight that maternal exposure to these EDCs significantly disrupts craniofacial cartilage formation in zebrafish embryos and leads to reproductive and developmental alterations in both mothers and offspring.
- The studies also investigate the physiological responses to toxic exposure, including changes in gene expression related to oxidative stress and environmental toxins, providing valuable insights into the risks posed by EDCs in aquatic environments and their potential implications for human health.
