Abstract excerpt
A substantial body of data published during the past 30 years makes a strong case for the existence of cellular radioprotective mechanisms that can be up-regulated in response to exposure to small doses of ionizing radiation. Either these "induced" mechanisms can protect against a subsequent exposure to radiation that may be substantially larger than the initial "priming" or "conditioning" dose, or they may...
