nanoparticles, mycotoxins,dna adducts

[Guest guest]

genotoxins(mycotoxins) are known to cause cancer, mode of action is

still highly debated. however it's well established that many chemical

carcinges require metabolic activation to reactive intermediates prior

to covalently binfing(adducting) DNA. incorrect or inefficent enzymatic

removal of the carcinogen-DNA adduct may lead to genetic mutation and

cancer

cells just gobble up these nanoparticles than move to the tumor sight
