Which DNA Damage is Likely to Be Relevant in Hormetic Responses?
Working under the assumption that hormesis is triggered by specific types of DNA damage, this report focuses on the types of damage which form the signature of ionizing radiation.

DNA repair requires reorganization of the local chromatin structure to facilitate access to and repair of the DNA. Studying DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair in specific chromatin domains has been aided by the use of sequence-specific endonucleases to

Visualization of complex DNA damage along accelerated ions tracks
The most deleterious DNA lesions induced by ionizing radiation are clustered DNA double-strand breaks (DSB). Clustered or complex DNA damage is a combination of a few simple lesions (single-strand breaks, base damage etc.) within one or two DNA helix ...

The observed clustering of damaging extra-tropical cyclones in Europe [PDF]
Abstract. The clustering of severe European windstorms on annual timescales has substantial impacts on the re/insurance industry. Management of the risk is impaired by large uncertainties in estimates of clustering from historical storm datasets typically covering the past few decades. The uncertainties are unusually large because clustering depends on

Inventory of sparse forest populations using adaptive cluster sampling
In many studies, adaptive cluster sampling (ACS) proved to be a powerful tool for assessing rare clustered populations that are difficult to estimate by means of conventional sampling methods.

Approximately 3 × 1017 DNA damage events take place per hour in the human body. Within clustered DNA lesions, they pose a serious problem for repair proteins, especially for iron−sulfur glycosylases (MutyH), which can recognize them by the ...

Chemical aspects of clustered DNA damage induction by ionising radiation.
Ionising radiation induces a variety of chemical modifications to DNA, ranging from simple, isolated lesions to clustered DNA damage, in which two or more lesions are formed within a few tens of base pairs by a single radiation track. Multiple lesions, e.

Every 24 h, roughly 3 × 1017 incidences of DNA damage are generated in the human body as a result of intra- or extra-cellular factors. The structure of the formed lesions is identical to that formed during radio- or chemotherapy.

Repair of clustered uracil DNA damages in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Multiply damaged sites (MDS) are defined as greater than/equal to two lesions within 10-15 bp and are generated in DNA by ionizing radiation. In vitro repair of closely opposed base damages > or =2 bp apart results in a double strand break (DSB). This work extends the in vitro studies by utilizing clusters of uracil DNA damage as model lesions to ...

Clustered DNA damage sites, in which two or more lesions are formed within a few helical turns of the DNA after passage of a single radiation track, are signatures of DNA modifications induced by ionizing radiation in mammalian cells.
