PFOS Alters Early Development Signals in Stem Cell Model
Key Takeaways
- Karolinska researchers tested PFOS, PFOA and PFHxS in a stem-cell-derived model of early development.
- PFOS caused the strongest effects, including slower growth and altered gene activity.
- The lowest PFOS dose matched concentrations measured in pregnant women in the Swedish SELMA study.
- The model identifies potential biological effects but does not establish outcomes in human pregnancies.
