What Are Examples of Environmental Toxins That Affect the Mitotic Spindle?
Environmental toxins such as benzene and certain pesticides have been shown to interfere with the mitotic spindle. Benzene metabolites can disrupt microtubule dynamics, while some pesticides are known to interfere with spindle assembly. Understanding the mechanisms by which these environmental agents affect the spindle is crucial for assessing their potential health risks and establishing safety regulations.
