During the last decade, there has been clear progress in using threshold in risk assessment but its acceptance by scientists is still under debate. Contrary to indirect DNA-damaging agents, DNA-reactive agents have been assumed to have a non-threshold mode of

The present paper reports the graft copolymerization of 2-acrylamidoglycolic acid onto chitosan by using potassium bromate/silver nitrate as an efficient redox initiator in an inert atmosphere. The effect of reaction conditions on grafting parameters i.e. grafting ratio, efficiency, conversion, add

The primary cilium is an immotile sensory and signaling organelle found on the majority of mammalian cell types. Of the multitude of roles that the primary cilium performs, perhaps some of the most important include maintenance of differentiation, quiescence, and
Potassium bromate (KBrO(3), PB) is a by-product of ozone used as disinfectant in drinking water. And PB is also a widely used food additive. However, there is little known about its adverse effects, in particular those related to its genotoxicity

Oxidative stress contributes to many disease etiologies including ageing, neurodegeneration, and cancer, partly through DNA damage induction (genotoxicity). Understanding the i nteractions of free radicals with DNA is fundamental to discern mutation risks. In genetic toxicology, regulatory authorities consider that
