Ultraviolet A light is commonly emitted by UV-nail polish dryers with recent reports suggesting that long-term use may increase the risk for developing skin cancer. However, the effect of radiation emitted by UV-nail polish dryers on the physiology and mutagenesis of mammalian cells remains unclear. Here, we show that irradiation by a UV-nail polish dryer […]
Error-corrected next-generation sequencing to advance nonclinical genotoxicity and carcinogenicity testing

Error-corrected next-generation sequencing (ecNGS) is an emerging technology with the potential to revolutionize the field of genetic toxicology. Here, we present recommendations from an expert working group convened to discuss potential applications, advantages and challenges associated with implementing ecNGS in nonclinical safety studies.
