2024-09-13
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Purpose</h4> Epidemiological studies show that radon and cigarette smoke interact in inducing lung cancer, but the contribution of nicotine in response to alpha radiation emitted by radon is not well understood. <h4>Materials and methods</h4> Bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells were either pre-treated with 2 μM nicotine during 16 h, exposed to radiation, or the combination. DNA damage, cell...
