Leaded gasoline may be a thing of the past in most developed countries, but lead poisoning remains a problem in many areas of the globe. To make matters worse, there's still no good way to quickly and safely remove the metal from the body to prevent symptoms like memory loss, anaemia, and even paralysis.
Enter Jong Hwa Jung and his colleagues at the Gyeongsang National University in Jinju, South Korea, with an elegant new approach to detox.
The team has identified a receptor that binds strongly to lead, and only to lead, in the body and added a nickel-containing magnetic nanoparticle to the other end. They intend to treat people suffering lead poisoning simply by injecting some of these particles into their blood before using a modified dialysis machine to pull out the particles – along with the lead – with a magnet.
Но, если мне не изменяет память, рецептор - это нервное окончание, и тогда оно никак не может цепляться к свинцу. Подскажите, пожалуйста, как можно адекватно перевести этот receptor (в тексте выделено жирным шрифтом).
Заранее спасибо!
АПД. Спасибо, вопрос снят.
