Human population can be considered as a subject of combined exposure to chemicals. Hexavalent chromium is a well-known mutagen and carcinogen. Curcumin, a popular spice and pigment, is reported to have antineoplastic properties. The single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet assay) is a sensitive techni

Cisplatin is a widely used anticancer drug, but its application is limited due to severe side effects. To reduce these effects, many other platinum drugs have been synthesized. In the present work comparative analysis of the toxicity of cisplatin, oxoplatin, and a conjugate (NH(3))(2)Pt(SeO(3)) (Se-
## Abstract Cohesin establishes sister‐chromatid cohesion during S phase to ensure proper chromosome segregation in mitosis. It also facilitates postreplicative homologous recombination repair of DNA double‐strand breaks by promoting local pairing of damaged and intact sister chromatids. In G~2~ ph
There is an increased interest in using biological markers to monitor individuals for possible exposure to environmental toxicants. Test systems which permit the sensitive detection of DNA damage and DNA repair are critically important in such studies. The single cell gel electrophoresis (SCG) assay
DNA damage and its subsequent repair occur heterogeneously throughout the genome, which reflects the nature of the damaging agents, gross chromosomal structure, the specific nucleotide sequence, and transcriptional status. We selected to investigate the repair of DNA damage in an artificial, transge
