Concerns about the adverse health effects of chemicals and
radiation present in the environment and at workplaces have created
the need for better detection systems to assess their potential to
cause DNA damage in humans and other organisms across ecosystems.
The Micronucleus Assay in Toxicology is the first comprehensive
volume concerning the use of micronucleus assays in genetic
toxicology. It succinctly explains the mechanisms by which
genotoxins cause micronucleus formation and its relation to
diseases. Furthermore, it describes the methods which are currently
used for the analyses of micronuclei in different types of cells in
human in vivo biomonitoring studies, routine in vivo tests with
rodents, in vitro studies with human and mammalian cells,
environmental monitoring with invertebrates and vertebrates such as
molluscs, fish and, also, in plant bioassays. Moreover, this book
also focuses on the use of the micronucleus technique in other
research areas, including the detection of DNA damage caused by
important groups of genotoxic carcinogens (heavy metals, industrial
chemicals, cytotoxic drugs, pesticides, ionising radiation, etc.)
as well as study designs, statistical analyses, international
regulatory guidelines, and the development of automated scoring
devices for this assay. This book will serve as both, a reference
and a guide to students, and investigators in biomedical,
biochemical and pharmaceutical sciences interested in gaining a
better understanding of the biology of micronuclei and their
application in measuring DNA damage caused by natural or man-made
genotoxins.
