Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nickel is a component of biomedical alloys that is released during corrosion or friction and causes cytotoxicity, mutation, differentiation or even carcinogenesis in tissues. However, the mechanisms underlying the potential hazards of Nickel-containing alloys implanted in the human body by surgery remain uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Ni(II) (NiCl2•6H2O) on cancer cells. METHODS: A549...
