Molecular Targets in Cellular Response to Ionizing Radiation and Implications in Space Radiation Protection
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
DNA repair systems and cell cycle checkpoints closely co-operate in the attempt of maintaining the genomic integrity of cells damaged by ionizing radiation. DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) are considered as the most biologically important radiation-induced damage. Their spatial distribution and association with other types of damage depend on radiation quality. It is believed these features affect damage...
