- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 118, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedImagine the most sophisticated engineering feat you can think of, and you might not consider a living cell. And yet cells are fabulously sophisticated, able to produce all the proteins, tissues, and biological circuits...
- 10From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 118, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Global DNA methylation levels have been reported to be inversely associated with blood levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), xenobiotics that accumulate in adipose tissue. Whether these...
- 11From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 118, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedProduction and use of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants has been reduced or eliminated because of concerns about health effects of these environmentally persistent compounds, but...
- 12From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 118, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedUterine fibroids (leiomyomata) are the most common pelvic tumors in U.S. women as well as the most common cause for hysterectomy. Both estrogen and progesterone influence fibroid development, whereas early-life hormonal...

- 16From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 118, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMost people experience infectious disease outbreaks as frightening news reports that cause panic and fear, but for public health workers they are common occurrences that are part of the almost daily routine. Some...
- 17From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 118, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedIt has been proposed that formaldehyde may influence the risk or severity of asthma through irritant effects by stimulating allergic responses (when linked with endogenous proteins) or by inhibiting bronchodilation, but...
