Clay-induced DNA double-strand breaks underlay genetic diversity, antibiotic resistance and could be a molecular basis for asbestos-induced cancer

2017-02-25

Abstract excerpt

Some natural clays and synthetic nanofibres present in the environment have a severe impact on human health. After several decades of research, the molecular mechanism of how asbestos induce cancers is not well understood. Different fibres, including asbestos, can penetrate the membrane and introduce DNA in both, bacterial and eukaryotic cells. Incubating Escherichia coli with sepiolite, a clayey material, and asb...
