Genotoxic and mutagenic properties of Ni and NiO nanoparticles investigated by comet assay, γ‐H2AX staining, Hprt mutation assay and ToxTracker reporter cell lines [PDF]
Nickel (Ni) compounds are classified as carcinogenic to humans but the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Furthermore, effects related to nanoparticles (NPs) of Ni have not been fully elucidated.

Cell survival after DNA damage in the comet assay. [PDF]
The comet assay is widely used in basic research, genotoxicity testing, and human biomonitoring. However, interpretation of the comet assay data might benefit from a better understanding of the future fate of a cell with DNA damage.

Neutral Comet Assay to Detect and Quantitate DNA Double-Strand Breaks in Hematopoietic Stem Cells
In vertebrates, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) regulate the supply of blood cells throughout the lifetime and help to maintain homeostasis. Due to their long lifespan, genetic integrity is paramount for these cells, and accordingly, a number of stem ...
