Background A micronucleus test is generally used to evaluate the genotoxic potential of chemicals. Exaggerated erythropoiesis, as occurs following bleeding, may induce an unexpected increase in micronucleus frequency.

Lead-induced genotoxicity to Vicia faba L.roots in relation with metal cell uptake and initial speciation [PDF]
Formation of organometallic complexes in soil solution strongly influence metals phytoavailability. However, only few studies deal with the influence of metalspeciation both on plant uptake and genotoxicity. In the present study, Viciafaba seedlings were

Safety assessment of the substance (2E,2'E)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane-3,9-diylbis(2-methylpropane-2,1-diyl) bis(2-cyano-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate for use in plastic food contact materials. [PDF]
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials (FCM) assessed the safety of (2E,2′E)‐2,4,8,10‐tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane‐3,9‐diylbis(2‐methylpropane‐2,1‐diyl) bis(2‐cyano‐3‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)acrylate, which is intended to be used as an additive at up to 0.75% w/w in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) single‐use articles for contact with all types ...

ABSTRACT Pollen is a male gametophyte of angiosperms. Following meiosis, the microspore undergoes an asymmetric division called pollen mitosis I (PMI), which produces two cells of different sizes: a large vegetative cell and a small generative cell. Polarized nuclear migration and positioning during PMI are important for successful pollen development ...

Assessment of the genotoxicity of Cu and Zn in raw and anaerobically digested slurry with the Vicia faba micronucleus test [PDF]
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.

Evaluation of Genotoxicity by Micronucleus Assay in vitro and by Allium cepa Test in vivo
The in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity of new metallodrugs either as Small Bioactive Molecules (SBAMs) or Conjugates of Metals with Drugs (CoMeDs) is evaluated by the micronucleus test and the Allium cepa assay, respectively.

Analysis of chromosomal radiosensitivity of healthy BRCA2 mutation carriers and non-carriers in BRCA families with the G2 micronucleus assay [PDF]
Breast cancer risk drastically increases in individuals with a heterozygous germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, while it is estimated to equal the population risk for relatives without the familial mutation (non-carriers).
