The comet assay in testing the potential genotoxicity of nanomaterials
In the last two decades the production and use of nanomaterials (NMs) has impressively increased. Their small size, given a mass equal to that of the corresponding bulk material, implies an increase in the surface area and consequently in the number of atoms that can be reactive. They possess differ...
