Decades ago, scientists began to investigate the association between problems in fetal development and schizophrenia. In pregnancy, the placenta is the link between mother and child, and this prenatal environment can have huge influences on the development of the fetus. Changes in the intrauterine environment have been associated with cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Instead, epigenetics can work through structural changes in the genome, or the attachment or removal of methyl groups. Knowing more about the basis of such illnesses will help scientists create better therapeutics or potentially, preventive measures. Sources: University of Basque Country, Nature Communications
