Abstract excerpt
Methylmercury (MeHg) is an environmentally prevalent organometal that is particularly toxic to the developing central nervous system (CNS). Prenatal MeHg exposure is associated with reduced brain size and weight and a reduced number of neurons, which have been associated with impaired cell proliferation. We evaluate the role of p21, a cell cycle protein involved in the G1- and G2-phase checkpoint control, in the...
