- Field
- cancer research
- What they did
- Researchers demonstrated that maternal smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm in offspring.
- Why it matters
- This is important for understanding how environmental factors like nicotine can be transmitted through epigenetic DNA changes and affect the health of future generations.
