Abstract excerpt
In a previous study, we have shown that methylmercury (MeHg) exposure causes focal aggregation of intracellular transgenic mCherry protein in dendrites of cephalic (CEP) neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). However, the underlying mechanism is unknown. We hypothesized that reduced cellular release of mCherry via extracellular vesicles by MeHg contributes to its accumulation and intracellular...
