Salivary Leucocytes as In Vitro Model to Evaluate Nanoparticle-Induced DNA Damage
(MDPI, 2021-07-27)
[Abstract] Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have a wide variety of applications in many consumer products and biomedical practices. As a result, human exposure to these nanomaterials is highly frequent, becoming an issue ...
Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity of Nanomaterials [Editorial]
(MDPI, 2022-02-14)
DNA Damage in Circulating Leukocytes Measured With the Comet Assay May Predict the Risk of Death
(2021)
[Abstract] The comet assay or single cell gel electrophoresis, is the most common method used to measure strand breaks and a variety of other DNA lesions in human populations. To estimate the risk of overall mortality, ...
The hCOMET Project: International Database Comparison of Results with the Comet Assay in Human Biomonitoring. Baseline Frequency of DNA Damage and Effect of Main Confounders
(2021)
[Abstract] The alkaline comet assay, or single cell gel electrophoresis, is one of the most popular methods for assessing DNA damage in human population. One of the open issues concerning this assay is the identification ...
Suitability of the In Vitro Cytokinesis-Block Micronucleus Test for Genotoxicity Assessment of TiO2 Nanoparticles on SH-SY5Y Cells
(2021)
[Abstract] Standard toxicity tests might not be fully adequate for evaluating nanomaterials since
their unique features are also responsible for unexpected interactions. The in vitro cytokinesis-block
micronucleus (CBMN) ...
Exploring Early Detection of Frailty Syndrome in Older Adults: Evaluation of Oxi-Immune Markers, Clinical Parameters and Modifiable Risk Factors
(2021)
[Abstract] Ageing is accompanied with a decline in several physiological systems. Frailty is an age-related syndrome correlated to the loss of homeostasis and increased vulnerability to stressors, which is associated with ...
Assessing the in Vitro Toxicity of Airborne (Nano)Particles to the Human Respiratory System: From Basic to Advanced Models [Review]
(Taylor & Francis, 2023-01-24)
[Abstract] Several studies have been conducted to address the potential adverse health risks attributed to exposure to nanoscale materials. While in vivo studies are fundamental for identifying the relationship between ...
Suitability of Salivary Leucocytes to Assess DNA Repair Ability in Human Biomonitoring Studies by the Challenge-Comet Assay
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract] The challenge-comet assay is a simple but effective approach that provides a quantitative and functional determination of DNA repair ability, and allows to monitor the kinetics of repair process. Peripheral blood ...
Effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle Exposure on Human Glial Cells and Zebrafish Embryos
(MDPI, 2023-08-01)
[Abstract] Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are among the most widely used nanomaterials. They have multiple applications in cosmetics, textiles, paints, electronics and, recently, also in biomedicine. This extensive use ...
