Radiation-Induced Bystander Effects in Cultured Human Stem Cells
2 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The radiation-induced "bystander effect" (RIBE) was shown to occur in a number of experimental systems both in vitro and in vivo as a result of exposure to ionizing radiation (IR). RIBE manifests itself by intercellular communication from irradiated cells to non-irradiated cells which may cause DNA damage and eventual death in these bystander cells. It is known that human stem cells (hSC) are...
