The Effects of Particle LET and Fluence on the Complexity and Frequency of Clustered DNA Damage

open access: yesDNA
Motivation: Clustered DNA-lesions are predominantly induced by ionizing radiation, particularly by high-LET particles, and considered as lethal damage. Quantification of this specific type of damage as a function of radiation parameters such as LET, dose

A Density Clustering RAPID Based on an Array-Compensated Damage Index for Quantitative Damage Diagnosis

open access: yesSensors
Guided wave array-based structural health monitoring (SHM) is a promising solution for diagnosing damage in metal-connected structures. In this field, the reconstruction algorithm for probabilistic inspection (RAPID) is one of the most widely used ...

Coupling Radiation Transport and Track-Structure Simulations: Strategy Based on Analytical Formulas Representing DNA Damage Yields

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2021
Existing radiation codes for biomedical applications face the challenge of dealing with largely different spatial scales, from nanometer scales governing individual energy deposits to macroscopic scales of dose distributions in organs and tissues in ...

Clustered DNA damages induced by low-energy (1~20 eV) electrons and the general mechanism of transient anions

open access: yesFushe yanjiu yu fushe gongyi xuebao, 2021
Five monolayer plasmid DNA films were irradiated by low-energy electrons (LEEs) (1~20 eV) in ultra-high vacuum. Crosslinks, single-strand breaks, double-strand breaks and the loss of the supercoiled configuration were analyzed via agarose gel ...

Dissecting Highly Mutagenic Processing of Complex Clustered DNA Damage in Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yesCells, 2021
Clusters of DNA damage, also called multiply damaged sites (MDS), are a signature of ionizing radiation exposure. They are defined as two or more lesions within one or two helix turns, which are created by the passage of a single radiation track.

Progress of research on double-strand break damage induced by heavy-ion beam radiation and repair mechanism

open access: yesFushe yanjiu yu fushe gongyi xuebao, 2023
Heavy-ion beam radiation can cause cell DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which are factors that lead to genomic instability. Existing studies have demonstrated that homologous end joining, homologous recombination, single-strand annealing, and selective ...

Damage cluster distributions in numerical concrete at the mesoscale [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2017
We investigate the size distribution of damage clusters in concrete under uniaxial tension loading conditions. Using the finite-element method, the concrete is modeled at the mesoscale by a random distribution of elastic spherical aggregates within an elastic mortar paste.

Chromatin and the Cellular Response to Particle Radiation-Induced Oxidative and Clustered DNA Damage

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Exposure to environmental ionizing radiation is prevalent, with greatest lifetime doses typically from high Linear Energy Transfer (high-LET) alpha particles via the radioactive decay of radon gas in indoor air.

Cluster species and cluster size dependence of damage formation by cluster ion impact [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2003
Molecular dynamics simulations of Ne, Ar and Xe clusters with various sizes impacting on Si surfaces were performed in order to study damage formation processes. When cluster size ranged from several tens to several thousands and accelerated energy is 20 keV in total, each cluster impact caused surface damage in the shape of a crater.

In Silico Investigation of the Biological Implications of Complex DNA Damage with Emphasis in Cancer Radiotherapy through a Systems Biology Approach

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Different types of DNA lesions forming in close vicinity, create clusters of damaged sites termed as “clustered/complex DNA damage” and they are considered to be a major challenge for DNA repair mechanisms resulting in significant repair delays and ...
