Cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in<i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>germline cells following heavy-ion microbeam irradiation
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate positional effects of radiation with an energetic heavy-ion microbeam on germline cells using an experimental model metazoan Caenorhabditis elegans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The germline cells were irradiated with raster-scanned broad beam or collimated microbeam of 220 MeV 12C5+ particles delivered from the azimuthally varying field (AVF) cyclotron, and subsequently observed for cell cycle...
