Genotoxicity measured by the comet assay is expressed by different researchers using
parameters that are not easy to conceptualize, except for percent tail DNA (% T) or visual …

The comet assay has been widely used to measure a range of cellular responses to DNA
damage and has found applications in genotoxicity studies, bio-monitoring, ecological …

A population study is reported in which the DNA damage induced by g-radiation (2 Gy) and
the kinetics of the subsequent repair were estimated by the comet and micronucleus assays …

Exposure of humans to toxic compounds occurs mostly in the form of complex mixtures.
Leachates, consisting of mixtures of many chemicals, are a potential risk to human health. In …

The Comet assay has found wide acceptance in monitoring human genotoxicity caused by
lifestyle and occupational and environmental factors. In the present study, we have used the …

Initial radiation-induced DNA damage, dose–response curves and kinetics of DNA repair in
leukocytes from healthy volunteers and breast cancer patients, was assessed using alkaline …

The comet assay or single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assay is now widely accepted as
a standard method for assessing DNA damage in individual cells. It finds use in a broad …

Among various environmental genotoxins, ionizing radiation has received special attention
because of its mutagenic, carcinogenic and teratogenic potential. In this context and …

Background Companion animals like dogs frequently develop tumors with age and similarly
to human malignancies, display interpatient tumoral heterogeneity. Tumors are frequently …

Background: Impaired DNA repair mechanism is one of the main causes of tumor genesis.
