Suppression of fibroblast growth factor-2 expression: possible mechanism underlying methylmercury-induced inhibition of the repair of wounded monolayers of cultured human brain microvascular endothelial cells.

29 Sep 2009 Vascular toxicity is an important feature of the neuropathy induced by methylmercury. Methylmercury does not cause nonspecific cell damage, but rather retards the repair of wounded monolayers of cultured human brain microvascular endothelial cells ... Read more...

Overexpression of the novel F-box protein Ymr258c confers resistance to methylmercury in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

29 Sep 2009 We searched a yeast genomic library for genes that conferred methylmercury resistance to yeast. Ymr258c was identified as a factor that conferred strong methylmercury resistance when overexpressed in budding yeast. Ymr258c is regarded as one of the ... Read more...

Mercury bioaccumulation in a stream network.

13 Sep 2009 Mercury (Hg) contamination is common in stream and river ecosystems, but factors mediating Hg cycling in the flowing waters are much less understood than inthe lakes and wetlands. In this study, we examined the spatial patterns of methylmercury ... Read more...
