Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Detection of Hypoxia in Human Brain Tumor Xenografts Using a Modified Comet Assay
Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2003 We used the standard comet assay successfully to generate in vitro dose-response curves under oxic and hypoxic conditions. We then made mixtures of cells that had been irradiated with 3 and 9 Gy of X-rays to simulate two subpopulations in a tumor, but ...

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), a ubiquitous environmental endocrine disruptor, has been implicated in carcinogenesis; however, its effects on thyroid cells remain unclear. This study investigated BPA‐induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in thyroid cell lines, including normal follicular (Nthy‐ori 3‐1), papillary carcinoma (TPC‐1 and BCPAP) and anaplastic

The comet assay – how to recognise “good data”
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 Testing of potentially genotoxic materials currently involves use of in vitro assays such as the Ames test (gene mutations), the chromosome aberration assay and in vitro micronucleus assay (predominantly using human peripheral lymphocytes to detect ...

The Comet Assay in Human Biomonitoring
, 2013 Human biomonitoring studies aim to identify potential exposures to environmental, occupational, or lifestyle toxicants in human populations and are commonly used by public health decision makers to predict disease risk. The Comet assay measures changes in genomic stability and is one of the most reliable biomarkers to indicate early biological effects ...
