A Model of Photon Cell Killing Based on the Spatio-Temporal Clustering of DNA Damage in Higher Order Chromatin Structures
2 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
We present a new approach to model dose rate effects on cell killing after photon radiation based on the spatio-temporal clustering of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) within higher order chromatin structures of approximately 1-2 Mbp size, so called giant loops. The main concept of this approach consists of a distinction of two classes of lesions, isolated and clustered DSBs, characterized by the number of double...
