DNA Double Strand Break Repair: A Radiation Perspective
11 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
SIGNIFICANCE: Ionizing radiation (IR) can induce a wide range of unique deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) lesions due to the spatiotemporal correlation of the ionization produced. Of these, DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) play a key role. Complex mechanisms and sophisticated pathways are available within cells to restore the integrity and sequence of the damaged DNA molecules. RECENT ADVANCES: Here we review the main...
