MicroRNA-124 Reduces Arsenic-induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Neurotoxicity and is Linked with Neurodevelopment in Children

Abstract Arsenic (As) exposure adversely affects neurodevelopment in children. Accumulation of misfolded proteins in cells exposed to As leads to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, which, if not relieved, results in cell death. Despite the potential role of ER stress for As-induced neurotox...
