Developmental exposure to environmentally relevant bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate) impairs host defense and disrupts epidermal immune and barrier responses in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (BDP), an emerging oligomeric organophosphate ester, has been increasingly detected in the environment. However, its effects on host defense at environmentally relevant concentrations remain unclear. Using Caenorhabditis elegans, we examined whether developmental exposure to 2, 20, o...
