Low dose rate γ-irradiation protects <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> chromosomes from double strand breaks and telomere fusions by modulating the expression of the esi-RNA biogenesis factor <i>Loquacious</i>

2021-07-25

Abstract excerpt

It is still continuously debated whether the low-dose/dose-rate (LDR) of ionizing radiation represents a hazard for humans. Model organisms, such as fruit flies, are considered valuable systems to reveal insights into this issue. We found that, in wild-type Drosophila melanogaster larval neuroblasts, the frequency of Chromosome Breaks (CBs), induced by acute γ-irradiation, is significantly reduced when flies are...
