- Tobacco smoke leads to significant health issues, including cancer, and can cause cellular damage visible as micronuclei in buccal mucosal cells.
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of DNA-specific versus DNA-nonspecific stains to assess micronuclei and nuclear anomalies in smokers and nonsmokers.
- Results indicated that smokers had a higher mean micronuclei score with DNA-nonspecific stains, but no significant differences were observed with DNA-specific stains, highlighting the need for careful interpretation of staining methods and smoking duration effects.
