Lead exposure induces dysregulation of constitutive heterochromatin hallmarks in live cells
Lead (Pb) is a heavy metal contaminant commonly found in air, soil, and drinking water due to legacy uses. Excretion of ingested Pb can result in extensive kidney damages due to elevated oxidative stress. Epigenetic alterations induced by exposure to Pb have also been implied but remain poorly under...
