Contribution of heavy metals to toxicity of coal combustion related fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Caenorhabditis elegans with wild-type or susceptible genetic background
We employed an in vivo assay system of Caenorhabditis elegans to determine if and which microRNAs (miRNAs) were dysregulated upon exposure to coal combustion related fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by profiling the miRNAs using SOLiD sequencing.
