Untreated Hair Dye Effluents Enter the Environment: Are They a Threat to Human Health?

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effluents generated during the process of hair dyeing exhibit a complex composition, comprising chemical compounds with varying toxicity levels. While the adverse impact of hair dyes on human health is acknowledged, there is a notable absence of studies addressing the toxicity associated with effluents produced during these activities. The

Cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay [PDF]

Nature Protocols, 2007
The cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay is a comprehensive system for measuring DNA damage, cytostasis and cytotoxicity. DNA damage events are scored specifically in once-divided binucleated (BN) cells and include (a) micronuclei (MNi), a biomarker of chromosome breakage and/or whole chromosome loss, (b) nucleoplasmic bridges (NPBs), a ...

Validating micronucleus score in effusion fluids

Journal of Cytology, 2017
Identifying malignant cells in effusion fluid is vital in staging and management of cancers. Differentiating reactive mesothelial cells from malignant cells in effusion fluid is a challenging task and there is an ongoing need for simpler and cost effective tool to aid the diagnosis. Micronucleus is an additional smaller nucleus in the cytoplasm, formed

Utility of Urinary Extracellular Vesicles for Colorectal Cancer: Comparison of DNA Quality and MRD Detection

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Urinary EVs provide highly pure vesicles with superior DNA quality, making them a robust and completely non‐invasive source for molecular profiling. Urinary EV‐DNA–based MRD assessment shows significant prognostic value and may serve as a practical tool for postoperative monitoring and risk stratification in colorectal cancer.

Assessment of the genetic risks of a metallic alloy used in medical implants

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2011
The use of artificial implants provides a palliative or permanent solution for individuals who have lost some bodily function through disease, an accident or natural wear. This functional loss can be compensated for by the use of medical devices produced
