Ionizing radiation is considered a non-threshold carcinogen ... to affect low-dose radiation cancer risk. Here, the types of DNA damage induced at low doses, the DNA damage response (DDR; a ...

All forms of ionizing radiation have sufficient energy to ionize atoms and potentially cause damage to DNA. Ionizing radiation sources are found in a wide range of occupational settings. Proper ...

"We hypothesize that the tardigrades' ability to sense ionizing radiation and massively upregulate specific DNA repair ...

Within 24 hours, most of the radiation-induced DNA damage was repaired ... that tardigrades possess an innate ability to ...

Although UV light in the UV-A through UV-C range is not ionizing, it damages DNA and parts of the eye. This is why UV-C radiation is used for sterilizing surfaces in laboratories and hospitals ...

One persistent myth is that cellphone use directly causes brain cancer by emitting radiofrequency radiation. However, ...

The ionizing radiation emitted by radionuclides linked to the carrier kill cancer cells by damaging their DNA, causing the tumours to shrink. An ideal radiopharmaceutical for therapeutic purposes ...

Radiotherapy, or radiation therapy, is the clinical use of high energy rays (ionizing radiation) to induce DNA damage in all exposed cells to ultimately kill cancer cells or prevent cancer growth.

Erythema induced by ionizing radiation is infrequently seen in practice ... Some rare health conditions related to defects in DNA repair genes render patients highly sensitive to radiation. Patients ...

When a high voltage is applied to the electrode, an electrostatic field bends the quartz fiber toward the zero mark on the reticle; as ionizing radiation passes through the chamber, charges are ...

This laboratory focuses on the repair of 1 particular lesion in DNA, the double-strand break (DSB). DSBs arise from agents, such as ionizing radiation, and can also occur spontaneously during DNA ...

The ionizing ... damage DNA. Stomach Radioactive sources can sit in the stomach and irradiate for a long time. Reproductive organs High doses can cause sterility or mutations. Skin Radiation ...
