Abstract excerpt
Low-dose hyper-radiosensitivity (HRS) and induced radioresistance (IRR) are unexpected features of cellular survival curves that challenge classical radiobiological models. While often interpreted phenomenologically, their underlying biological purpose remains unclear. Here we propose that these effects reflect an evolved strategy by which tissues minimise mutational burden through context-dependent cell...
