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 ...
Minimum Information for Reporting on the Comet Assay (MIRCA): Recommendations for Describing Comet Assay Procedures and Results
(2020)
[Abstract] The comet assay is a widely used test for the detection of DNA damage and repair activity. However, there are interlaboratory differences in reported levels of baseline and induced damage in the same experimental ...
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, ...
Low Vitamin D Levels and Frailty Status in Older Adults: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2020)
[Abstract] Serum vitamin D deficiency is widespread among older adults and is a potential modifiable risk factor for frailty. Moreover, frailty has been suggested as an intermediate step in the association between low ...
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 ...
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) ...
Genotoxicity of TiO2 Nanoparticles in Four Different Human Cell Lines (A549, HEPG2, A172 and SH-SY5Y)
(2020)
[Abstrac] Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have a wide variety of applications in many consumer products, including as food additives, increasing the concern about the possible hazards that TiO2 NPs may pose to ...
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 ...
