Relationship between CpG and non-CpG DNA methylation in human lymphocytes assessed with comet assay [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical JournalTissue-specific DNA methylation plays an important role in the regulation of many functional processes. The methylation level in single cells can be assessed using the comet assay (single-cell gel electrophoresis), a simple and cost-effective technique ...

Comet Assay in Cancer Chemoprevention
, 2016 The comet assay can be useful in monitoring DNA damage in single cells caused by exposure to genotoxic agents, such as those causing air, water, and soil pollution (e.g., pesticides, dioxins, electromagnetic fields) and chemo- and radiotherapy in cancer patients, or in the assessment of genoprotective effects of chemopreventive molecules. Therefore, it

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Chemical Maturation Controls Bioavailability of Fetuin‐A‐Mineral Complexes in Biomineralization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The role of Fetuin‐A‐mineral complexes in matrix mineralization is unclear. Here, Fetuin‐A‐mineral complexes were found to exist in functionally distinct states that determine mineral bioavailability: chemically labile calciprotein monomers directly mineralize collagen fibrils, while chemically matured primary calciprotein particles require cellular ...

Protective effects of phenolic acids on mercury-induced DNA damage in precision-cut kidney slices [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2019 Objective(s): Precision-cut tissue slices are considered an organotypic 3D model widely used in biomedical research. The comet assay is an important screening test for early genotoxicity risk assessment that is mainly applied on in vitro models. The aim
