Low-dose radiation affects cardiac physiology: gene networks and molecular signaling in cardiomyocytes
26 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
There are 160,000 cancer patients worldwide treated with particle radiotherapy (RT). With the advent of proton, and high (H) charge (Z) and energy (E) HZE ionizing particle RT, the cardiovascular diseases risk estimates are uncertain. In addition, future deep space exploratory-type missions will expose humans to unknown but low doses of particle irradiation (IR). We examined molecular responses using...
