Nontargeted Analysis of the Chemical Exposome in Preterm Birth: A Pilot Study of Placenta and Maternal Serum

Preterm birth is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, yet the role of chemical exposures in its etiology remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that untargeted chemical profiling of paired maternal serum and placenta would reveal distinct exposure signatures and metabolic disruptions associated wi...
