Methylmercury accumulates in mouse hair during growth, then decreases when growth stops.

In this study, human scalp hair grafted onto nude mice accurately reflected methyl mercury exposure, demonstrating its potential as a research model for monitoring mercury incorporation into human hair.

This review discusses medical conditions and therapies related to various elements, such as zinc, copper, mercury, cadmium, lead, chromium, and arsenic, without reporting new experimental results; it highlights past findings on deficiencies, toxicities, and historical cases.

This study found that laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry can effectively reconstruct time-resolved mercury exposure in micrometer segments of a single hair strand from fish-eaters.

This review highlights the significant risks posed by mercury to the endocrine system, including disruptions in hormone synthesis and regulation, stress response, and potential reproductive dysfunction, while noting the need for further research on dose-response relationships and long-term impacts.
