Cadmium-induced apoptosis of Siberian tiger fibroblasts via disrupted intracellular homeostasis

摘要

BackgroundHeavy metals can cause great harm to Siberian tigers in the natural environment. Cadmium (Cd²⁺) is an environmental contaminant that affects multiple cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. It has been shown to induce apoptosis in a variety of cell types and tissues.
