A study finds DNA damage and threats to cellular health with occupational exposure of farmers and farmworkers.

While I was in Armenia for my master’s thesis, I pursued my passion for beekeeping on the side in the Shirak province and conducted bug research with the RA National Academy of Sciences, which was an ...

Abstract: This paper reports a novel method for nucleus and micronucleus segmentation. These biological structures are useful to biologists for relieving structural chromosome aberration. The adopted ...

Study: Genetic determinants of micronucleus formation in vivo. Image Credit: Dimarion/Shutterstock.com Genomic instability and extracellular MN accumulation are hallmarks of various disorders ...

Alternatively, the cells may be dropped, spread, or smeared on slides. Scan a minimum of randomly selected 1000 cells for the presence of micronucleus from each culture flask. A total of 2000 cells ...

Abstract: In response to the challenges associated with cell micronucleus image recognition, namely small target sizes, high class similarity, and limited sample data, A novel cell micronucleus ...

Chromium can damage DNA in several ways, including DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) which generate chromosomal aberrations, micronucleus formation, sister chromatid exchange, formation of DNA adducts ...

HBEC cells were assessed for secondary genotoxicity using micronucleus and comet assays. HBEC cells (0.6 × 10 5 cells) were exposed to NiO NPs (5, 10, and 25 μg/mL) for 48 h in a 24 well plate. After ...

The two types of nuclei are the micronucleus and macronucleus, according to the Encyclopedia of Microbiology. The micronucleus is diploid; that is, it contains two copies of each paramecium ...
