In vivo formation of natural HgSe nanoparticles in the liver and brain of pilot whales

In vivo formation of natural HgSe nanoparticles in the liver and brain of pilot whales

To understand the biochemistry of methylmercury (MeHg) that leads to the formation of mercury-selenium (Hg-Se) clusters is a long outstanding challenge that promises to deepen our knowledge of MeHg detoxification and the role Se plays in this process. Here, we show that mercury selenide (HgSe) nanop...
