Abstract excerpt
A concept is proposed where the events induced by low doses of ionizing radiation with low linear energy transfer have different script than those induced by high doses. Its essence consist in the existence of a small fraction (subpopulation) in clonal heterogeneous population whose cells are determined for a specific programmed response induced by a number of action that are potentially able (at high doses) to...
