Study sheds light on leads neurotoxic effects
Environmental Factor - September 2016
Years of research show that lead can harm early brain development, but scientists know surprisingly little about how this damage occurs at the cellular level. New findings suggest that lead triggers oxidative stress, or cellular imbalance, in neural stem cells, which could damage the cells at a pivotal point in development. The new study, by Quan Lu, Ph.D., and others at the NIEHS-supported Harvard Superfund Research Program (SRP) center, was published Aug. 26 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
