Micronucleus study on breast cytology aspirate smears and its diagnostic utility
Journal of Cytology, 2018 Background: Micronucleus is a small fragment of nucleus present in the cells which have undergone chromosomal damage. It is used as a biomarker of genomic damage. Aims: We aim to study the presence of micronucleus on breast cytology smears and the use of

Integrated Biomarker Assessment of Bifenthrin, Chlorpyrifos and Endosulfan Toxicity in Indigenous Carps (Catla catla and Labeo rohita): Oxidative Stress, Genotoxicity and Nuclear Alterations. [PDF]
Vet Med SciCombined exposure to bifenthrin–chlorpyrifos and bifenthrin–endosulfan mixtures induced oxidative stress, genotoxicity and nuclear abnormalities in Catla catla and Labeo rohita. Antioxidant and DNA damage biomarkers provide sensitive tools for assessing pesticide‐related ecological risks in aquatic environments. ABSTRACT Background The extensive use of

New direct contact approach to evaluate soil genotoxicity using the Vicia faba micronucleus test. [PDF]
, 2009 A method to assess micronucleus (MN) induction in Vicia faba roots by direct contact exposure to a solid matrix was developed. The procedure comprised a 5-d germination period, as in the well-known method using aqueous extracts.

Assessment of the genotoxicity of Cu and Zn in raw and anaerobically digested slurry with the Vicia faba micronucleus test [PDF]
, 2009 Genotoxicity of Cu and Zn was assessed by use of the micronucleus (MN) test on Vicia faba roots. Plants were exposed to various leachates of rawand anaerobically digested pig slurry, with maximum total concentrations of 200MCu and 600MZn.
