Distribution of Soluble Uranium in the Nuclear Cell Compartment at Subtoxic Concentrations
10 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
Uranium is naturally found in the environment, and its extensive use results in an increased risk of human exposure. Kidney cells have mainly been used as in vitro models to study effects of uranium exposure, and very little about the effects on other cell types is known.
