Bristol [UK], April 9 (ANI): Scientists from the tobacco company Imperial Brands have utilised Toxys' ToxTracker suite of stem-cell-based in-vitro assays that provide a mechanistic insight into the potential DNA damaging properties of chemicals and compared the vape e-liquid samples and their aerosols with combustible cigarette smoke.
Imperial scientists are the first to publish results using the ToxTracker system for the assessment of vape e-liquids and aerosols, and it forms part of the company's continuing research into the tobacco harm reduction potential of Next Generation Products (NGPs) such as vapes.
