TL;DR: Preliminary evidence is provided that MN frequency in PBL is a predictive biomarker of cancer risk within a population of healthy subjects and in all national cohorts and for all major cancer sites.

TL;DR: The best model, which included exposure to genotoxic factors, host factors, methods, and scoring criteria, explained 75% of the total variance, with the largest contribution attributable to laboratory methods.

TL;DR: In this article, an inter-laboratory slide-scoring exercise was performed among 34 laboratories from 21 countries with a total of 51 slide scorers involved, and the results of these studies indicate clearly that even after standardizing culture and scoring conditions it will be necessary to calibrate scorers and laboratories if MN, MNed cell and nucleoplasmic bridge frequencies are reliably compared among laboratories and among populations.

TL;DR: The exposure to traffic fumes during working activities in medium to high traffic areas in Rome may give a relatively greater contribution to personal exposure to benzene than indoor sources present in confined environments.

TL;DR: The results suggest a key role of oxidative stress in ZnO NPs cytotoxicity induction related both to ion leakage and to cell interaction with NPs in serum-free medium.
