Identification of differentially expressed genes and pathways in mice exposed to mixed field neutron/photon radiation

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Radiation exposure due to the detonation of an improvised nuclear device remains a major security concern. Radiation from such a device involves a combination of photons and neutrons. Although photons will make the greater contribution to the total dose, neutrons will certainly have an impact on the severity of the exposure as they have high relative biological effectiveness. RESULTS: We investigated...
