Nucleic Acid Aptamers Protect Against Lead (Pb(II)) Toxicity

2024-03-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Lead (Pb(II)) is a pervasive heavy metal toxin with many well-established negative effects on human health. Lead toxicity arises from cumulative, repeated environmental exposures. Thus, prophylactic strategies to protect against the bioaccumulation of lead could reduce lead-associated human pathologies. Here we show that DNA and RNA aptamers protect C. elegans from toxic phenotypes caused by le...
