Paradigm Shifts in Radiation Biology: Their Impact on Intervention for Radiation-Induced Disease

Abstract excerpt

New mechanistic cell and molecular studies on the effects of very low doses of radiation have resulted in three major paradigm shifts. First, the observation of bystander effects demonstrated that non-hit cells may respond as well as cells in which energy is deposited. Second, it was thought that gene mutations and chromosome aberrations were the most important early changes that represented the initiation phase...
