Isolation and characterization of the compounds responsible for the antimutagenic activity of Combretum microphyllum (Combretaceae) leaf extracts
inhibit the pathological process resulting from exposure to mutagens. Investigation of the antimutagenic potential of traditional medicinal plants and compounds isolated from plant extracts provides one of ...
The Vitotox and ToxTracker assays: a two-test combination for quick and reliable assessment of genotoxic hazards
reporter-based assays. In this paper we investigate the performance of two in vitro reporter-based assays, namely the Vitotox and the ToxTracker. A set of reference compounds were selected to cover not only ...

Oxidative stress pathways involved in cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on cells constitutive of alveolo-capillary barrier in vitro.
to which nanoparticles contribute to cellular toxicity is known to associate induction of oxidative stress. To investigate this problem further, the effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles was ...
Short-term effect of pollen and spore exposure on allergy morbidity in the Brussels-Capital Region.
most affected by allergic rhinitis. Pollen grains and fungal spores represent important triggers of symptoms. However, few studies have investigated their real link with disease morbidity over several ...
A molecular approach for the rapid, selective and sensitive detection of Exophiala jeanselmei in environmental samples: development and performance assessment of a real-time PCR assay
This comparison demonstrated that this SYBR ®green qPCR assay can be used as a molecular alternative for monitoring and routine investigation of samples contaminated by E. jeanselmei, while eliminating ...
