The<i>In Vivo</i>Expression of Radiation-Induced Chromosomal Instability Has an Inflammatory Mechanism
3 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Ionizing radiation is unequivocally leukemogenic and carcinogenic, and this is generally attributed to DNA damage arising as a consequence of deposition of energy in the cell nucleus at the time of exposure. However, nontargeted effects, in which DNA damage is produced in nonirradiated cells as a consequence of cell signaling processes, indicate additional mechanisms. Radiation-induced chromosomal instability, a...
