The LacZ plasmid-based transgenic mouse model: an integrative approach to study the genotoxicity of nanomaterials

Numerous in vitro studies have been performed to address the potential genotoxicity of chemicals and of emerging products, e.g., nanomaterials. Although valuable for hazard assessment, the in vitro assays do not reflect the complexity of an organism, including, bioavailability, toxicokinetics and im...
