Mechanistic aspects of nickel carcinogenicity.

This paper is a condensation of a review on cellular and molecular mechnisms of nickel carcinogenesis, which the author is preparing for the ‘Steering Committee on Nickel Research’ (Sir Richard Doll, Chairman). Because of space restrictions, bibliographic citations in this paper are kept to a minimum; the author will gladly furnish a complete bibliography upon request.
