The Comet Assay or single cell gel electrophoresis assay is one of the very widely used assays to microscopically detect DNA damage at level a cell. determination carried out either through visual scoring cells (after classification into different categories on basis tail length and shape) by using commercially available public domain software (which automatically recognise extent damage). In this assay, shape, size amount within 'comet' play important roles in damage. use particular also...
A method of DNA profiling using the random amplified polymorphic (RAPD) was used to assess toxicant-induced effects in laboratory populations Daphnia magna exposed varying concentrations genotoxic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene. These effects, represented by changes RAPD profiles, were compared with a number key ecological fitness parameters (age-specific survival, age-specific fecundity, net reproductive rate, and intrinsic rate population increase). Not only shown be rapid reproducible assay...
Marine bivalves (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were exposed to titanium dioxide (10 mg L(-1)) either as engineered nanoparticles (nTiO2; fresh, or aged under simulated sunlight for 7 days) the bulk equivalent. Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry analyses of mussel tissues showed higher Ti accumulation (>10-fold) in digestive gland compared gills. Nano-sized TiO2 greater than bulk, irrespective ageing, particularly (>sixfold higher). Despite this, transcriptional expression...
Advanced in vitro culture from tissues of different origin includes three-dimensional (3D) organoid micro structures that may mimic conditions vivo. One example simple 3D is spheroids; ball shaped typically used as liver and tumour models. Oxygen critically important physiological processes, but difficult to quantify culture: the question arises, how small does a spheroid have be minimal micro-environment formation? This particular importance growing field based models for toxicological...

Waste disposal in landfills remains a global concern. Despite technological developments, landfill leachate poses hazard to ecosystems and human health since they act as secondary reservoir for legacy emerging pollutants. This study provides systematic scientometric review of the nature toxicity pollutants generated by means assessing their potential risks. Regarding health, unregulated waste pathogens are leading causes diseases reported local populations. Both vitro vivo approaches have...
