Low dose ionizing radiation effects on the immune system
Environment International, 2021 Ionizing radiation interacts with the immune system in many ways with a multiplicity that mirrors the complexity of the immune system itself: namely the need to maintain a delicate balance between different compartments, cells and soluble factors that ...

Editorial: Research on low dose ionizing radiation health effects [PDF]
Frontiers in Public HealthIntroduction Biological effects of low doses of ionizing radiation have remained a radiobiological enigma for decades. Researchers' opinions in this field range from “supralinear dose dependence” and “extreme hazard” to “adaptive response” and “radiation hormesis.” Here we'd like to present a new set of reports on the experimentally evaluated impact of

Cellular sensitivity to low dose ionizing radiation
Journal of Radiation and Cancer Research, 2021 Cellular sensitivity to ionizing radiation is largely understood in terms of their DNA damage repair capacity. Efficient repair of DNA damage leaves irradiated cells unharmed. The observed differential responses of high doses (>500 mGy) and low doses (

Immune system modulation by low-dose ionizing radiation-induced adaptive response [PDF]
International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2023 Objective: Hormesis or low-dose ionizing radiation is known to induce various biological responses, a subcategory of which is the adaptive response, which has been reported to protect against higher radiation doses via multiple mechanisms.

Limited immune perturbations in mice exposed to sustained low-dose ionizing radiation [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyThe effects of high-dose ionizing radiation (HDIR) exposure on the immune system are largely understood with consensus, yet there remains a fragmented understanding of the impact of low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR) on immune homeostasis, especially in ...

Dose-Response Effects of Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation on Blood Parameters in Industrial Irradiation Workers [PDF]
Dose-Response, 2022 While previous studies have focused on the health effects of occupational exposure of radiations on medical radiation workers, few have analyzed the dose-response relationship between low radiation doses and changes in blood parameters.

Predictive DNA damage signaling for low‑dose ionizing radiation. [PDF]
Int J Mol MedNumerous studies have attempted to develop biological markers for the response to radiation for broad and straightforward application in the field of radiation. Based on a public database, the present study selected several molecules involved in the DNA damage repair response, cell cycle regulation and cytokine signaling as promising candidates for low‑

Plant–microorganism–soil interaction under long-term low-dose ionizing radiation [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 As the environmental nuclear radiation pollution caused by nuclear-contaminated water discharge and other factors intensifies, more plant–microorganism–soil systems will be under long-term low-dose ionizing radiation (LLR).

Cardiovascular risks associated with low dose ionizing particle radiation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Previous epidemiologic data demonstrate that cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality may occur decades after ionizing radiation exposure. With increased use of proton and carbon ion radiotherapy and concerns about space radiation exposures to ...
