ABSTRACT 
The authors of this letter have read with interest the article “Genotoxicity and mutagenicity of Rosmarinus officinalis (Labiatae) essential oil in mammalian cells in vivo”, published in Genetics and Molecular Research 2010; 9(4): 2114-2122. Maistro and co-workers investigated the genotoxic and mutagenic potential of rosemary essential oil in ex vivo studies (rodents) using the comet, micronucleus and chromosome aberration assays. However, their article raises various questions about its scientific quality and accuracy. Read More . . .
