DOI: 10.1002/etc.5121
Abstract: Biomonitoring methylmercury (MeHg) exposure is problematic in resource-limited settings and with difficult-to-access populations where traditional biomarker approaches present logistical, economic, and ethical issues. The present study aimed to validate the use of dried blood spots… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/tox.22904
Abstract: Methylmercury (MeHg) is a potent neurotoxin,which leads to a wide range of intracellular effects. The molecular mechanismsassociated to MeHg‐induced neurotoxicity have not been fully understood.Oxidative stress, as well as synaptic glutamate (Glu) dyshomeostasis have beenidentified… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/tox.24174
Abstract: Methylmercury (MeHg) causes selective neuronal damage to cerebrocortical neurons (CCNs) in the central nervous system, but not to hippocampal neurons (HiNs), which are highly vulnerable to neurodegenerative diseases. In our previous study using cultured rat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00244-021-00854-y
Abstract: Dragonflies (Order Odonata) often are considered to be biosentinels of environmental contamination, e.g., heavy metals and/or persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Dragonflies (n = 439) belonging to 15 species of 8 genera were collected from an abandoned mercury… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11064-025-04507-7
Abstract: Methylmercury (MeHg), an environmental pollutant, reaches the human body predominantly through contaminated fish consumption, potentially leading to severe neurological disorders. Upon ingestion MeHg reaches the brain and selectively accumulates in astrocytes. The activation of nuclear… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-019-06989-9
Abstract: Methylmercury (MeHg+) is a neurotoxicant abundantly present in the environment. The long-term effects of MeHg+ have been investigated in rodents, yet data on the long-term or persisted toxicity of MeHg+ in invertebrates is scanty. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-020-08935-6
Abstract: Throughout continents, reservoirs tend to have elevated methylmercury (MeHg) concentration transformed from mercury (Hg/total Hg). This impact may be pronounced in the reservoir with less velocity of water during the charging period resulted in the… read more here.
