DNA damage in circulating leukocytes measured with the comet assay may predict ...
Bonassi, S; Ceppi, M; Møller, P; Azqueta, A; Milić, M; Neri, M; Brunborg, G; Godschalk, R; Koppen, G; Langie, SAS; Teixeira, JP; Bruzzone, MThe comet assay or single cell gel electrophoresis, is the most common method used to measure strand breaks and a variety of other DNA lesions in human populations. To estimate the risk of overall mortality, mortality by cause, and cancer incidence associated to DNA damage, a cohort of 2,403 healthy individuals (25,978 person-years) screened in 16 laboratories using the comet assay between 1996 and 2016 was fol...
Impact of HIV infection on baseline characteristics and survival of women with ...
Brandão, M; Bruzzone, M; Franzoi, MA; de Angelis, C; Eiger, D; Caparica, R; Piccart-Gebhart, M; Buisseret, L; Ceppi, M; Dauby, N; Carrilho, C; Lunet, NBackground: As women living with HIV (WLWH) become older, their risk of developing breast cancer increases. Nonetheless, literature is conflicting regarding tumor stage, distribution of subtypes and overall survival among WLWH vs. HIV-negative women with breast cancer. We assessed differences in clinicopathological characteristics and overall survival between these two groups. Methods: Systematic review and met...

Milić, M; Ceppi, M; Bruzzone, M; Azqueta, A; Brunborg, G; Godschalk, R; Koppen, G; Langie, S; Møller, P; Teixeira, JP; Alija, A; Anderson, D; Andrade, VThe alkaline comet assay, or single cell gel electrophoresis, is one of the most popular methods for assessing DNA damage in human population. One of the open issues concerning this assay is the identification of those factors that can explain the large inter-individual and inter-laboratory variation. International collaborative initiatives such as the hCOMET project - a COST Action launched in 2016 - represent...
