In vitro genotoxicity testing using the micronucleus assay in cell lines, human lymphocytes and 3D human skin models.

abstract：:Anaesthetics have gained a lot of attention for their potential mutagenic/carcinogenic effects. In the present study we have investigated the genotoxicity of the inhalation anaesthetic sevoflurane on DNA of lymphocytes isolated from 20 patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. The genotoxicity of the anaesthetic was st...
