Background A mounting number of studies have been documenting the carcinogenic potential of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs); however, only a few studies have evaluated the pulmonary carcinogenicity of MWCNTs in vivo.

Studies on the degranulation test for carcinogens [PDF]
The radiometric assay of degranulation of the hepatic endoplasmic reticulum by chemical carcinogens has been re‐examined. Both 1,2,3,4,‐ and 1,25,6‐dibenzanthracenes caused degranulation of rough membranes in vitro; with acetamidofluorenes and naphthylamines the carcinogenic analogues caused moderately greater degranulation.

Predicting carcinogenicity by using batteries of dependent short-term tests
Among the various methods for predicting carcinogenicity from a battery of short-term tests (STTs), the carcinogenicity prediction and battery selection (CPBS) procedure is the most prominent.

Efficiency of age-adjusted tests in animal carcinogenicity experiments.
Carcinogenicity experiments may be analysed by a simple comparison of the control and exposed groups with respect to the proportions of observed tumors amongst dead animals, when longevity is identical in control and exposed groups.

Advanced Materials Design for Adsorption of Toxic Substances in Cigarette Smoke
Cigarettes, despite being economically important legal consumer products, are highly addictive and harmful, particularly to the respiratory system. Tobacco smoke is a complex mixture containing over 7000 chemical compounds, 86 of which are identified to ...

Alternative Models for Carcinogenicity Testing [PDF]
The International Conference on Harmonisation Expert Working Group on Safety suggested that under certain circumstances, data from alternative assays could be used in safety evaluation in place of a second bioassay. Several alternatives were discussed.

A Model for Selecting Short-Term Tests of Carcinogenicity
A theoretical model is presented that selects among available short term tests of carcinogenicity and then classifies chemicals on the basis of the results.

Can a simple test in bacteria identify cancer-causing chemicals in humans?
Since the 1950s, US officials have sought to reduce cancer incidence by regulating chemical exposures. However, rodent carcinogenicity tests are lengthy and expensive, making it impractical to identify carcinogens among the tens of thousands of chemicals
