Her research involves applying statistical models, biomonitoring techniques, and environmental measurements to provide comprehensive and quantitative assessments of exposure to combinations of traditional and emerging environmental contaminants.
The increased use of pesticides has caused concern over the possible direct association of exposure to combinations of these compounds with bee health problems.
We report here the generation of large numbers of hNSC-derived oligodendroglial cells by concurrent/sequential in vitro exposure to combinations of growth factors (FGF2, PDGF-AA), neurotrophins (NT3) and hormones (T3).
We report here that large numbers of oligodendrocytes can be generated from long-term self-renewing hNSCs by a simple in vitro protocol based on concurrent/sequential in vitro exposure to combinations of growth factors (FGF2, PDGF-AA), neurotrophins (NT3) and hormones (T3).
A major concern is how exposure to combinations of low levels of pesticides, especially herbicides, could affect public health.
Assessment of risk from exposure to combinations of chemicals requires the knowledge of the underlying mechanism(s).
Greater exposure duration than 21 days or exposure to combinations of other chemicals in wood pulp mill effluent might produce an effect, as suggested by other researchers [ 58].
In addition, we were not able to test for exposure to combinations of these POPs and other EDCs, and may have missed important mixture effects.
