Role of DNA Double-strand Break Repair Genes in Cell Proliferation under Low Dose-rate Irradiation Conditions
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Radiation-induced DNA double-stand breaks (DSBs) lead to numerous biological effects. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in cellular responses to low dose and low dose-rate radiation, it is informative to clarify the roles of DSB repair related genes. In higher vertebrate cells, there are at least two major DSB repair pathways, namely non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination...
