Interactions between nanoparticles and plants: phytotoxicity and defense mechanisms

TL;DR: This review puts forward the prospects of research direction of the environmental behavior and the biological toxicity of NPs, hoping to bring new ideas to the further research on NP phytotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cationic Substitutions in Hydroxyapatite: Current Status of the Derived Biofunctional Effects and Their In Vitro Interrogation Methods.

TL;DR: A comprehensive inventory of the progresses achieved so far is gathered, to allow fellow researchers to compare with ease and filter the best solutions for the cation substitution of HA-based materials and enable the development of multi-functional biomedical designs.

Genotoxicity of metal oxide nanomaterials: review of recent data and discussion of possible mechanisms

TL;DR: This review concluded that in the majority of the publications analysed in this review, the metal oxide (or silica) nanoparticles of the same core chemical composition did not show different genotoxicity study calls in the same test, although some results are inconsistent and need to be confirmed by additional experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lessons learned: Are engineered nanomaterials toxic to terrestrial plants?

TL;DR: After scrutinizing the most recent literature, it seems that the divergence in the research results may be possibly attributed to multiple factors such as ENM properties, plant species, soil dynamics, and soil microbial community.

Mitochondrial and Chromosomal Damage Induced by Oxidative Stress in Zn 2+ Ions, ZnO-Bulk and ZnO-NPs treated Allium cepa roots

TL;DR: The results elucidated A. cepa, as a good model for assessment of cytotoxicity and oxidative DNA damage with ZnO-NPs and Zn2+ in plants, as well as dose-dependent increase in ROS production and alterations in ΔΨm were observed in treated roots.

A simple technique for quantitation of low levels of DNA damage in individual cells

TL;DR: Human lymphocytes were exposed to X-irradiation or treated with H2O2 and the extent of DNA migration was measured using a single-cell microgel electrophoresis technique under alkaline conditions and this technique appears to be sensitive and useful for detecting damage and repair in single cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single cell gel/comet assay: guidelines for in vitro and in vivo genetic toxicology testing.

TL;DR: The expert panel reached a consensus that the optimal version of the Comet assay for identifying agents with genotoxic activity was the alkaline (pH > 13) versions of the assay developed by Singh et al.

8-Hydroxyguanine, an abundant form of oxidative DNA damage, causes G----T and A----C substitutions.

TL;DR: These assays illustrate mutagenic replication of oh8Gua as template causing G----T substitutions and misincorporation of Oh8G Hua as substrate causing A----C substitutions, both caused by oh8 Gua.

Preparation and characterization of

TL;DR: In this article, the performance and productivity of the ~-cyclodextrin (CD) membrane reactor indicate an improvement of CD stability, and the effect of different average degree of ~-CD carbonate substitution (DS), the amount of immobilized carbonate and operating stirring speeds have been examined under a constant substrate concentration and constant permeation rate.

The Allium test as a standard in environmental monitoring

TL;DR: The Allium test is a short-term test with many advantages: low cost, ease to handle, good chromosome conditions for the study of chromosome damage or disturbance of cell division including the evaluation of risks of aneuploidy.
