Identification of chemicals that mimic transcriptional changes associated with autism, brain aging and neurodegeneration
This study presents gene expression responses of cultured brain cells to hundreds of chemicals found in the environment and in food. The authors identified chemicals that induce transcriptomic profiles that overlap those seen in human brains affected with autism, aging, and neurodegeneration.
