High-LET-Radiation-Induced Persistent DNA Damage Response Signaling and Gastrointestinal Cancer Development
7 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
Ionizing radiation (IR) dose, dose rate, and linear energy transfer (LET) determine cellular DNA damage quality and quantity. High-LET heavy ions are prevalent in the deep space environment and can deposit a much greater fraction of total energy in a shorter distance within a cell, causing extensive DNA damage relative to the same dose of low-LET photon radiation. Based on the DNA damage tolerance of a cell,...
