At the EEMGS 2025 congress in Bratislava (June 2–6), Bojana Žegura presented research from the CutCancer project, including an oral presentation on the genotoxicity of MFe₂O₄ magnetic nanoparticles in a 3D HepG2 model, and two posters addressing genotoxic and inflammatory effects of PAHs in a lung co-culture model, and cellular responses to non-genotoxic carcinogens inducing oxidative stress in HepG2 spheroids. The work highlights the use of advanced 3D cell models for the safety assessment of chemicals and nanoparticles.
Oral presentation: In vitro (geno)toxicity evaluation of MFe₂O₄ (M = Fe, Zn, Mn) magnetic nanoparticles in a 3D HepG2 model.” (page 47)
Poster presentations (pages 83 and 84):
Poster 1: »Evaluation of the genotoxic and inflammatory effects of benzo[b]fluoranthene and benzo[g,h,i]perylene in a co-culture lung model at pseudo-air-liquid interface«
Poster 2: »Cellular responses to oxidative stress-inducing chemicals in HepG2 spheroids: Effects on viability, proliferation, and genotoxicity«.
All contributions are available in the official book of abstracts
