Analysis of Cell Cycle Disruptions in Cultures of Rat Pleural Mesothelial Cells Exposed to Asbestos Fibers
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
The control of DNA integrity in mammalian cells is important to maintain the cell homeostasis and prevent neoplastic transformation. Control of cell division and cell death permits repair or elimination of damaged cells. Since asbestos fibers can produce DNA damage, chromosome alterations and apoptosis in several sorts of cells, including mesothelial cells, it was interesting to investigate cell cycle...
