Establishing the comet assay to determine the effects of different perturbations on DNA repair capacity
(North-West University, 2011)Single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE), more commonly known as the Comet assay, is an uncomplicated, affordable and versatile method for investigating DNA damage and repair. Existing comet–assay based methods were modified ... -
A study of the early DNA methylation events in oxidative stressed cultured mammalian cells
(North-West University, 2012)Cells are continuously exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) causing oxidative stress. Cells can withstand and counteract ROS using defence mechanisms which range from free radical scavengers, antioxidant enzymes and ...
