Background Mercury is a ubiquitous environmental toxicant that exists in multiple chemical forms. psychological disturbances; and has been associated with Alzheimers disease [3,4]. The kidney is also a primary site of build up and toxicity of inorganic mercury. Environmental exposure to inorganic mercury is definitely associated with an increase in mortality from kidney disease [2,5].… Continue reading Background Mercury is a ubiquitous environmental toxicant that exists in multiple

Small GTPases of the Ras-like (Ral) family are crucial for signalling

Small GTPases of the Ras-like (Ral) family are crucial for signalling functions in both normal and cancer cells; however their role in a developing organism is poorly understood. The loss of RalA also causes a cell non-autonomous phenotype owing to reduced Jak/Stat signalling in neighbouring follicle cells. As a result border-cell assembly and migration as… Continue reading Small GTPases of the Ras-like (Ral) family are crucial for signalling
