Spontaneous γH2AX Foci in Human Solid Tumor-Derived Cell Lines in Relation to p21WAF1 and WIP1 Expression. [PDF]
Phosphorylation of H2AX on Ser139 (γH2AX) after exposure to ionizing radiation produces nuclear foci that are detectable by immunofluorescence microscopy.

The Comet Assay: Tails of the (Un)expected. Use of the comet assay in pharmaceutical development.
In genotoxicity testing of pharmaceuticals the rodent alkaline comet assay is being increasingly used as a second in vivo assay in addition to the in vivo micronucleus assay to mitigate in vitro positive results as recommended by regulatory guidance.

Closing the gap: from public concerns about health effects to science-based testing of chemicals
The comet assay is a powerful technology for measuring DNA integrity in humans and other organisms at the level of individual cells. The assay is used for research and industrial testing but suffers from a lack of standardisation, which hinders its use ...

DNA single-strand break repair and spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy-1 [PDF]
DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) are the commonest DNA lesions arising spontaneously in cells, and if not repaired may block transcription or may be converted into potentially lethal/clastogenic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).

ATM deficiency results in accumulation of DNA-Topoisomerase I covalent intermediates in neural cells [PDF]
Accumulation of peptide-linked DNA breaks contributes to neurodegeration in humans. This is typified by defects in tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) and human hereditary ataxia.

The basic principles of DNA damage detection by the alkaline comet assay [PDF]
The Comet assay is a highly sensitive and rapid method for detecting DNA damage at the level of individual cells. It measures single-stranded and double-stranded DNA breaks, alkali-labile, incomplete excision repair and cross-linking sites.

A novel antibacterial peptide derived from Crocodylus siamensis haemoglobin hydrolysate induces membrane permeabilization causing iron dysregulation, oxidative stress and bacterial death [PDF]
Aims A novel antibacterial peptide from Crocodylus siamensis haemoglobin hydrolysate (CHH) was characterized for antimicrobial activity. Methods and Results CHHs were hydrolysed for 2 h (2 h-CHH), 4 h (4h-CHH), 6 h (6 h-CHH) and 8 h (8 h-CHH). The
