Journal ArticleDOI
The comet assay: what can it really tell us?
TL;DR: The successful measurement of biomarkers of oxidative damage in human populations establishes the comet assay as a valuable tool in molecular epidemiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comet assay in human biomonitoring studies: Reliability, validation, and applications
Andrew Collins,Maria Dusinska,M. F. Franklin,Martina Somorovská,Helena Petrovská,Susan J. Duthie,Laurence Fillion,Mihalis I. Panayiotidis,Katarina Raslova,Nicholas J. Vaughan +9 more
TL;DR: The reliability and reproducibility of the comet assay is reported, from the level of comparing results from duplicate gels prepared from the same sample of cells, up to an assessment of the natural intra‐ and interindividual variability in lymphocyte DNA damage measured in groups of normal, healthy human volunteers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative damage to DNA: do we have a reliable biomarker?
TL;DR: Using a revised DNA isolation procedure designed to decrease in vitro oxidation, results are obtained for 8-OHgua concentrations in human lymphocytes that are closure to the figures obtained by the comet assay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of genotoxicity. A review of in vitro and in vivo studies with engineered nanoparticles.
TL;DR: The need for appropriate methodologies to be used for investigation of genotoxic effects of NPs, in vitro and in vivo is suggested and advantages and potential problems with different methods are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanomaterials for environmental studies: Classification, reference material issues, and strategies for physico-chemical characterisation
Vicki Stone,Bernd Nowack,Anders Baun,Nico W. van den Brink,Frank von der Kammer,Maria Dusinska,Richard D. Handy,Steven M. Hankin,Martin Hassellöv,Erik J. Joner,Teresa F. Fernandes +10 more
TL;DR: No clear consensus was reached regarding the classification of nanomaterials into categories to aid environmental studies, except that a chemistry-based classification system was a reasonable starting point, with some modifications.
