The analysis of the genotoxicity of praziquantel, an effective antihelminthic widely used in countries where parasitic infections are still serious public health problems, has been extensively performed using diverse in vitro and in vivo assays and endpoints. However, results are not conclusive, sin

Chlorination is a widely used method for disinfection of drinking water supplies. Reaction of chlorine with naturally present organic compounds can result in toxic by-products. One major disinfection byproduct from the chlorination of drinking water is dichloroacetic acid (DCA). This chemical has be
Paclitaxel is a recent chemotherapeutic agent that inhibits tubulin depolymerization in tumoral cells. Despite its increasing use against various human cancers, the genotoxicity of paclitaxel has never been studied on normal human cells. The in vitro genotoxic effects of the drug were evaluated with
## Abstract Surface water disinfection can lead to the formation of mutagenic/carcinogenic by‐products derived from reactions with naturally occurring inorganic compounds. We investigated the feasibility and potential usefulness of an integrated approach to genotoxicity analysis of drinking water.
The stromal elements of human bone marrow include cells, referred to as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), that have the potential to differentiate into bone, cartilage, fat, and hematopoietic-supportive stromal tissue. MSCs have been isolated and maintained in culture, and in vivo and in vitro assays h
The DNA-damaging ability of benzene and its metabolites on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) has been investigated by using the alkaline comet assay. The PBMC were incubated with different compounds in two different media for 2 and 24 hr at concentrations that did not affect cell viability a
