Methylmercury promotes prostacyclin release from cultured human brain microvascular endothelial cells via induction of cyclooxygenase-2 through activation of the EGFR-p38 MAPK pathway by inhibiting protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B activity [PDF]
Methylmercury is an environmental pollutant that exhibits neurotoxicity when ingested, primarily in the form of neuropathological lesions that localize along deep sulci and fissures, in addition to edematous and inflammatory changes in patient cerebrums.

The Aging Gut–Brain Axis: Effects of Dietary Polyphenols and Metal Exposure
The influence of gut microbiota on brain health ABSTRACT Diet provides essential metals, which are required for the growth, development, and well‐functioning of the body. Nonetheless, some natural and human activities add toxic heavy metals to the diet, consequently introducing them to our bodies, resulting in several disorders and death. The intestine,

Evaluation of agricultural ecosystem services in fallowing land based on farmers' participation and model simulation [PDF]
Fallowing with green fertilizer can benefit agricultural ecosystem services (AES). Farmers in Taiwan do not implement fallow practices and plant green fertilizer because the current subsidy level (46,000 NT$ per ha) is too low to manage fallowing.

Synaptic adhesion molecules (SAM) are essential for the formation, maturation, function, plasticity, and assembly of synaptic connections, all critical for normal neurodevelopment. Excessive exposure to neurotoxic metals during development could disrupt the developing brain and potentially lead to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).
