Radiation Sensitivity of Human CD34<sup>+</sup>Cells Versus Peripheral Blood T Lymphocytes of Newborns and Adults: DNA Repair and Mutagenic Effects
20 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
As hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) self-renew throughout life, accumulation of genomic alterations can potentially give rise to radiation carcinogenesis. In this study we examined DNA double-strand break (DSB) induction and repair as well as mutagenic effects of ionizing radiation in CD34(+) cells and T lymphocytes from the umbilical cord of newborns. The age dependence of DNA damage repair end...
