Uranium Exposure Triggers Immune Cell Destruction, but IL-2 and IL-6 Offer Protection
The study looked at how uranium exposure affects immune cells, finding that it causes DNA and chromatin fragmentation leading to cell death. The researchers observed significant changes in the nuclei of immune cells exposed to uranium, indicating cell death. They also found that interleukin-2 and interleukin-6 treatments can help prevent DNA fragmentation caused by uranium exposure.
