Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Erik Bivehed"
- Erik Bivehed's research primarily focuses on improving the sensitivity and speed of the comet assay, a technique used to detect DNA damage, particularly single- and double-strand breaks, in response to genotoxic agents.
- His recent publications include developments like the Flash-comet assay, which replaces traditional alkaline solutions with lithium-based alternatives, significantly enhancing the assay's effectiveness under alkaline conditions.
- Additionally, Bivehed has explored the impact of environmental factors on DNA integrity through various protocols, contributing to better understanding of DNA damage mechanisms and potential therapeutics targeting neuropeptide modulation in neurobiology.
