Bisphenol A caused aging-like injury in lab-grown human bladder cells
Experiments in primary human bladder-lining cells found that silencing the gene for ACSL4, a protein, or adding vitamin C lessened the chemical’s effects.Experiments in primary human bladder-lining cells found that silencing the gene for ACSL4, a protein, or adding vitamin C lessened the chemical’s effects.
