No Evidence for DNA and Early Cytogenetic Damage in Bystander Cells after Heavy-Ion Microirradiation at Two Facilities
28 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of bystander effects has challenged the evaluation of risk for heavy ions, mainly in the context of space exploration and the increasing application of carbon ions in radiotherapy. In the present study, we addressed whether heavy-ion-induced DNA and cytogenetic damage is detectable in bystander cells. The formation of gamma-H2AX foci, sister chromatid exchanges and micronuclei were used as markers...
