MalariaCometChip for high-throughput quantification of DNA damage in Plasmodium falciparum
STAR Protocols, 2021 Summary: Comet assay is a standard approach for studying DNA damage in malaria, but high-throughput options are not available. The CometChip was previously developed using mammalian cells as a high-throughput version of the comet assay.

Genotoxicity assessment of piperitenone oxide: an in vitro and in silico evaluation [PDF]
, 2017 Piperitenone oxide, a natural flavouring agent also known as rotundifolone, has been studied for the genotoxicity assessment by an integrated in vitro and in silico experimental approach, including the bacterial reverse mutation assay, the micronucleus ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

The Slow‐Rotating Nucleus of Comet C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy)
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The close approach of comet C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy) allowed us to conduct an in‐depth study of the morphology of the inner coma. From the measurement of the dust emission structures expanding near the cometary nucleus in November–December 2013, we derived a slow rotation period of 47.8±1.2$$ 47.8\pm 1.2 $$ h.

DNA Damage Analysis in Children with Non-syndromic Developmental Delay by Comet Assay [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016 Introduction: Majority of the developmental delays in children are non-syndromic and they are believed to have an underlying DNA damage, though not well substantiated.

Transcription-associated breaks in Xeroderma Pigmentosum group D cells from patients with combined features of Xeroderma Pigmentosum and Cockayne Syndrome [PDF]
, 2005 Defects in the XPD gene can result in several clinical phenotypes, including xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), trichothiodystrophy, and, less frequently, the combined phenotype of XP and Cockayne syndrome (XP-D/CS).

Approaches to repurposing reverse transcriptase antivirals in cancer
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.This review highlights the role of reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibition in cellular regulation associated with non‐terminal repeat retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses. Based on their pleiotropic characteristics, RT inhibitors (RTIs) are discussed as potential anticancer agents.

Herpes simplex virus-type1 (HSV-1) impairs DNA repair in cortical neurons [PDF]
, 2016 Several findings suggest that Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection plays a role in the neurodegenerative processes that characterize Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying mechanisms have yet to be fully elucidated.
