Epigenetic DNA Methylation Under the Influence of Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation, and Supplementation with Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid: Harmful or Beneficial for Professionals?

Abstract excerpt

This review paper highlights the importance of educating current and future professionals about epigenetic mechanisms and recognizing epigenetics as a crucial model for protection against ionizing radiation. Two basic models for radiation-induced DNA damage are currently in use. The association between mutations and chromosomal aberrations provides a framework for analyzing risks at low radiation doses and...
