Role of endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated autophagy in cadmium-induced apoptosis in BRL-3A cells
Cadmium (Cd), a widely present environmental toxicant, can cause liver damage following chronic exposure. Although endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and autophagy are known to be involved in Cd-induced liver injury, their molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this study, using an in vitro Cd exposure...
