Radioadaptive response: an implication for the biological consequences of low dose-rate exposure to radiations.

Mutation research - 4 Nov 1996

Abstract excerpt

Radioadaptive response provides a considerable impact on the risk assessment of low-dose and low dose-rate exposures to ionizing radiations. The cells previously exposed to low doses of radiations become resistant to the induction of mutations, chromosome aberrations and cell killing by the subse...
