Serum Mercury Level and Multiple Sclerosis
Exposure to heavy metals has been associated to a higher incidence of multiple sclerosis. In this work, we present a possible relationship between serum mercury levels and development of multiple…
Aluminum Induced Immunoexcitotoxicity in Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative Disorders
A great deal has been learned about the neurotoxicity of aluminum over the past two decades in terms of its ability to disrupt cellular function. Newer evidence suggests that a…
Mechanisms of aluminum adjuvant toxicity and autoimmunity in pediatric populations
Immune challenges during early development, including those vaccine-induced, can lead to permanent detrimental alterations of the brain and immune function. Experimental evidence also shows that simultaneous administration of as little…
Imaging multiple sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases
Although the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases is increasing as a consequence of the growing aging population, the exact pathophysiological mechanisms leading to these diseases remains obscure. Multiple sclerosis (MS), an…
