Radiation sensitivity increases with proliferation‐associated telomere dysfunction in nontransformed human epithelial cells
16 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated age differences among human adults in susceptibility to radiation, with cancer cases attributable to radiation being more frequent for older individuals at time of exposure. In addition to the notion that susceptibility increases because of progressive decline in DNA monitoring and immunosurveillance, telomere function is now emerging as a new and important factor in...
