7. 5. In vitro models to study mechanisms of neural cell death induced by toxic agents

   Författare :Roshan Tofighi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Neurotoxicity arises when exposure to toxic agents, either naturally occurring or manmade substances, alters the normal activity and/or structure of the nervous system. This can lead to disruption of vital metabolic processes and eventually to cell death. Certain unique features of the nervous system make it particularly vunerable to toxicants, e. LÄS MER
