Radiation hormesis: Autophagy and other cellular mechanisms

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To review the cellular mechanisms of hormetic effects induced by low dose and low dose rate ionising radiation in model systems, and to call attention to the possible role of autophagy in some hormetic effects. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Very low radiation doses stimulate cell proliferation by changing the equilibrium between the phosphorylated and dephosphorylated forms of growth factor receptors....
