DNA damage induced by micellar-delivered doxorubicin and ultrasound: comet assay study by Husseini, Ghaleb

“…However, when cells were incubated with 10 μg/ml free DOX for up to 9 h, DNA damage increased with incubation time (P=0.0011). Exposure of cells to the same concentration of DOX in the presence of 10-wt% P-105 showed no significant DNA damage for up to 9 h of incubation. …”

HBN Nanoparticle-Assisted Rapid Thermal Cycling for the Detection of Acanthamoeba by Rasheed, Abdul Khaliq

“…As low as 1 X 10¯⁴ wt % was determined as the optimum concentration of hBN nanoparticles, which increased Acanthamoeba DNA yield up to ~16%. Further, it was able to reduce PCR temperature that led to a ~2.0-fold increase in Acanthamoeba DNA yield at an improved PCR specificity at 46.2 °C low annealing temperature. hBN nanoparticles further reduced standard PCR step time by 10 min and cycles by eight; thus, enhancing Acanthamoeba detection rapidly. …”
