Blasting off on an actin comet tail. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2009 CellsCells have structure and the ability to move, thanks in part to the actin cytoskeleton, a dynamic cellular scaffolding that facilitates many cellular processes. Actin is mostly concentrated near the outer membrane of the cell, where it is involved in such processes as the formation of membrane protrusions at the leading edges of migrating cells ...

Increased DNA damage in blood cells of rat treated with lead as assessed by comet assay [PDF]
Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology, 2008 A growing body of evidence suggests that oxidative stress is the key player in the pathogenesis of lead-induced toxicity. The present study investigated lead induced oxidative DNA damage, if any in rat blood cells by alkaline comet assay.
