Abstract excerpt
These studies have examined alterations in the in vivo growth properties of mammary epithelial cells isolated at 1, 4, and 16 weeks after in vivo irradiation with -137Cs gamma rays or fission-spectrum neutrons. Altered in vitro growth potential was characterized by the proliferation of epithelial...
