Abstract excerpt
Nanoparticles have been widely used in several sectors and their long-term effect on the body and environment remains unknown. To evaluate the mutagenic, recombinogenic and carcinogenic potential of 11 nm titanium dioxide nanocrystals (TiO2 NCs), the Somatic Mutation and Recombination Test (SMART) and the Test for Detection of Epithelial Tumors Clones (Warts-Wts) were used, both in Drosophila melanogaster....
