The traditional thinking has been that the biological effects of ionizing radiation occur in irradiated cells as a consequence of the DNA damage they incur. This implies that: 1) biological effects occur only in irratiated cells, 2) radiation traversal through the nucleus of the cell is a prerequisite to produce a biological response, and 3) DNA is the target molecule in the cell. Evidence has been emerging,...
