The rate of DNA synthesis in Hela cells during combined long-term and acute exposures to lead

Sodium bicarbonate-hydroxyapatite used for removal of lead ions from aqueous solution

“…More than that, the microscopic images showed that the HeLa cells incubated with the lead-contaminated solutions exhibited a distinctive apoptotic appearance and a considerable cell number reduction. The results obtained from the visual observation of the cells are in concordance with the results of the MTT studies and with previously reported studies that reported the harmful effects and high toxicity of lead ions [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78]. The preliminary results obtained in this study regarding the biocompatibility of HAp-SB nanoparticles as well as the promising data obtained in the case of the removal of Pb 2+ from aqueous solutions using HAp-SB nanoparticles determined that these nanoparticles could be suitable in the future development of novel environmental remediation technologies.…”
