In the modern developing society, application of radiation has increased extensively. With significant improvement in the radiation protection practices, exposure to human could be minimized substantially, but cannot be avoided completely.

The correlation between micronuclei count and smoking behavior: A hospital-based study
Background: Micronucleus is a microscopically visible cyto-plasmic chromatin mass in the extranuclear vicinity, originating from aberrant mitosis, which consists of eccentric chromosomes that have failed to reach spindle poles during mitosis. The present

Micronuclei are DNA-containing structures separate from the nucleus found in cancer cells. Micronuclei are recognized by the immune sensor axis cGAS/STING, driving cancer metastasis.

Mutant p53 establishes targetable tumor dependency by promoting unscheduled replication [PDF]
Gain-of-function (GOF) p53 mutations are observed frequently in most intractable human cancers and establish dependency for tumor maintenance and progression.

A study on micronucleus frequency in lymphocytes by flow cytometry to assess genetic damage in Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) [PDF]
Background: Micronucleus is a small additional nucleus formed due to chromosomal loss or fragmentation and frequently used as a biomarker of genomic damage. Genetic damage and cancer susceptibility are notable concerns in PCOS.

Rapid and automatic detection of micronuclei in binucleated lymphocytes image
Cytokinesis block micronucleus (CBMN) assay is a widely used radiation biological dose estimation method. However, the subjectivity and the time-consuming nature of manual detection limits CBMN for rapid standard assay. The CBMN analysis is combined with

Linking Micronuclei to Chromosome Fragmentation [PDF]
Human cancer cells bear complex chromosome rearrangements that can be potential drivers of cancer development. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these rearrangements have been unclear. Zhang et al. use a new technique combining live-cell imaging and single-cell sequencing to demonstrate that chromosomes mis-segregated to micronuclei ...

Antecedent chromatin organization determines cGAS recruitment to ruptured micronuclei
DNA damage-induced micronuclei are linked to downstream viral signalling through the cGAS pattern recognition receptor. Here, the authors identify features of micronuclei chromatin that determine cGAS-MN recruitment and associated pathway activation.

Giemsa versus acridine orange staining in the fish micronucleus assay and validation for use in water quality monitoring [PDF]
This study concerns a comparative analysis of the acridineorange and Giemsastaining procedures for the fish erythrocyte micronucleusassay. The goal was to optimize the assay in the context of field watermonitoring. Fish (Carassius carassius) were exposed

Automated Detection of Binucleated Cell and Micronuclei using CellProfiler 2.0 Software
Micronucleus assay in human peripheral lymphocytes usually used to assess chromosomal damage. Manual scoring of micronuclei can be time consuming and large numbers of binucleated cells have to be analyzed to obtain statistically relevant data. Automation
