Long-lived Inflammatory Signaling in Irradiated Bone Marrow Is Genome Dependent

Abstract excerpt

Ionizing radiation is carcinogenic, but genotype is a key determinant of susceptibility. Mutational DNA damage is generally attributed to cause disease, but irradiation also affects multicellular interactions as a result of poorly understood bystander effects that may influence carcinogenic susceptibility. In this study, we show that the bone marrow of irradiated mice will retain the ability to kill hemopoietic...
