The Effects of Essential and Non-Essential Metal Toxicity in the <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Insect Model: A Review
The biological effects of environmental metal contamination are important issues in an industrialized, resource-dependent world. Different metals have different roles in biology and can be classified as essential if they are required by a living organism (e.g., as cofactors), or as non-essential met...
