Effects of Low Doses of Methylmercury (MeHg) Exposure on Definitive Endoderm Cell Differentiation in Human Embryonic Stem Cells

Investigators determined the effects of low concentrations of MeHg exposure during the differentiation of definitive endoderm (DE) cells from human ESCs. hESCs were exposed to MeHg that covered the range of Hg concentrations typically found in human maternal blood during DE cell induction.
