BC nanofibres : in vitro study of genotoxicity and cell proliferation
Moreira, Susana; Silva, Naisandra Bezerra; Almeida-Lima, Jailma; Rocha, Hugo Alexandre Oliveira; Medeiros, Silvia Regina BatistuzzoNanomaterials have unusual properties not found in the bulk materials, which can be exploited in numerous applications such as biosensing, electronics, scaffolds for tissue engineering, diagnostics and drug delivery. However, research in the past few years has turned up a range of potential health hazards, which has given birth to the new discipline of nanotoxicology. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising mat...
Cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of surface water from the Pitimbu river, nort...
Egito,Lucila Carmem Monte; Medeiros,Maria das Graças; Medeiros,Silvia Regina Batistuzzo de; Agnez-Lima,Lucymara FassarellaIn this study, the onion (Allium cepa) root test was used to evaluate the genotoxicity of the Pitimbu River (Natal city, Brazil) surface water. The water was collected at five sampling sites along the river and one sample was obtained after the treatment (flocculation, chlorination and pH correction) of the river water for human consumption. All raw river water samples increased the frequency of chromosomal abn...
