Astrocytes Protect Neurons against Methylmercury via ATP/P2Y(1) Receptor-Mediated Pathways in Astrocytes

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a well known environmental pollutant that induces serious neuronal damage. Although MeHg readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, and should affect both neurons and glial cells, how it affects glia or neuron-to-glia interactions has received only limited attention. Here, we r...
