Elemental and molecular imaging of human full thickness skin after exposure to heavy metals

Abstract excerpt

Compelling evidence suggests that heavy metals have potentially harmful effects on the skin. However, knowledge about cellular signaling events and toxicity subsequent to human skin cell exposure to metals is still poorly documented. The aim of this study was to focus on the interaction between four different heavy metals (lead, nickel, cadmium, and mercury) at doses mimicking chronic low-levels of environmental...
