Aneugen Mechanisms Revealed by a 27-Chemical Assay
2026-08-24
Bernacki and colleagues describe a tiered flow-cytometric strategy that moves beyond detecting genotoxicity to identifying whether aneugenic chemicals act through tubulin stabilization, tubulin destabilization, or mitotic kinase inhibition. The study shows how fluorescent Taxol responses, mitotic phospho-histone H3, Ki-67, and machine learning can support mechanism-oriented genotoxicity profiling.
