DNA Damage Focus Analysis in Blood Samples of Minipigs Reveals Acute Partial Body Irradiation
3 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Radiation accidents frequently involve acute high dose partial body irradiation leading to victims with radiation sickness and cutaneous radiation syndrome that implements radiation-induced cell death. Cells that are not lethally hit seek to repair ionizing radiation (IR) induced damage, albeit at the expense of an increased risk of mutation and tumor formation due to misrepair of IR-induced DNA double strand...
