During almost 40 years of use, the micronucleus assay (MN) has become one of the most
popular methods to assess genotoxicity of different chemical and physical factors, including …

Abstract Knowledge about dose levels in radiation protection is an important step for risk
assessment. However, in most cases of real or suspected accidental exposures to ionizing …

Purpose: Biomarkers of ionising radiation exposure are useful in a variety of scenarios, such
as medical diagnostic imaging, occupational exposures, and spaceflight. This study …

Inflammatory joint diseases as well as arthropathy are common joint diseases. Many of them
may be treated by synovectomy to stop disease progression and to improve joint function …

Ionizing radiation can induce a wide range of DNA damage that leads to chromosomal
aberrations. Some of those aberrations (dicentrics and micronuclei) are applied in …

Purpose: With increasing utilisation of nuclear technologies in power production, medical
and industrial applications, and in a scenario of nuclear terrorism/war, there is an enhanced …

The aim of this study was to investigate the genotoxic effect on the peripheral blood
lymphocytes potentially induced by yttrium-90 citrate colloid (Y-90) in children who were …

The toxicity, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity of bulk sediments from the Yenisei River (Siberia,
Russia) were estimated in laboratory bioassays based on several endpoints in the aquatic …

Radiation dosimetric biomarkers have found applications beyond radiation protection area
and now are actively introduced into clinical practice. Cytogenetic assays appeared to be a …

An in vitro dose–response curve following exposure to γ-radiation was determined at the
IST/ITN, by use of the chromosomal aberration assay. This is the first study of this kind …
