The comet assay has become one of the methods of choice for the evaluation and
measurement of DNA damage. It is sensitive, quick to perform and relatively affordable for …

Abstract Silver nanoparticles (17.78±12.12 nm) were synthesized by the reduction of 0.5 M
silver nitrate using formaldehyde as reducing and triethylamine as promoting and stabilizing …

Free-living birds play an important role as bioindicators in natural environments. In this
study, we used the micronucleus test and nuclear erythrocyte abnormalities to investigate …

Multiple studies have shown that exposure to pollutants can increase genotoxic damage in
different taxa. However, to our knowledge, the effects of environmental stress have been …

Rodents are considered good models for investigating genotoxic damage and mutagenic
alterations caused by xenobiotic agents, due to their occupation of a wide variety of habitats …

Air pollution can generate changes in the morphology, physiology, and behavior of several
animals, including birds, which, when responding to such environmental changes, can be …

Purpose Evaluate genotoxic effect of heavy metals on Pigeon Erythrocytes (PE) from urban
and rural habitat (outside of the city) in Monterrey, Mexico, using the chromatin dispersion …

The monitoring of environmental genotoxicity requires the selection of model organisms as
'sentinels' as well as the development of sensitive and reliable tests for the assessment of …

ABSTRACT DNA breakage detection-fluorescence in situ hybridization (DBD-FISH) enables
detection and quantification of DNA breakage in the entire genome or within specific DNA …

Mexico's megadiverse avifauna includes many endemic taxa and unique diversity patterns,
as well as species that are widely distributed across the Americas. Of the roughly 10,500 …
