Abstract excerpt
Nickel compounds are known to be carcinogenic to humans and show genotoxicity, including the ability to induce chromosome aberrations and neoplastic transformation in vitro. The mutagenicity of nickel compounds is, however, equivocal and the mechanisms of carcinogenesis are still not clear. In this study, the possibility that nickel compounds induce genetic or chromosomal instability was examined, because recent...
