Biogeochemical controls on methylmercury distribution in a subtropical wetland ecosystem

Wetlands are widely regarded as biogeochemical hotspots of mercury methylation but little is known regarding such roles of mangrove forests. Here, we examined the detailed depth profile of mercury, methylmercury, and organic matter in surface sediments ...

Methylmercury demethylation and volatilization by animals expressing microbial enzymes

Nature Communications
Mercury is a highly toxic trace metal that readily biomagnifies in food webs where it is inaccessible to current bioremediation methods. Animals could potentially be engineered to detoxify mercury within their food webs to clean up impacted ecosystems ...

Methylmercury Induces Apoptosis in Mouse C17.2 Neural Stem Cells through the Induction of OSGIN1 Expression by NRF2

Methylmercury is a known environmental pollutant that exhibits severe neurotoxic effects. However, the mechanism by which methylmercury causes neurotoxicity remains unclear. To date, we have found that oxidative stress-induced growth inhibitor 1 (OSGIN1),
