Radiation-induced carcinogenesis: mechanistically based differences between gamma-rays and neutrons, and interactions with DMBA. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Different types of ionizing radiation produce different dependences of cancer risk on radiation dose/dose rate. Sparsely ionizing radiation (e.g. γ-rays) generally produces linear or upwardly curving dose responses at low doses, and the risk decreases ...

PHA stimulation may be useful for FDXR gene expression-based biodosimetry [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2020
Objective(s): Nowadays, ionizing radiation (IR) has a significant contribution to the diagnostic and therapeutic medicine, and following that, health risks to individuals through unexpected exposure is greatly increased.

Responses to Low Doses of Ionizing Radiation in Biological Systems [PDF]

Nonlinearity in Biology, Toxicology, Medicine, 2004
Biological tissues operate through cells that act together within signaling networks. These assure coordinated cell function in the face of constant exposure to an array of potentially toxic agents, externally from the environment and endogenously from metabolism. Living tissues are indeed complex adaptive systems.

Perturbed transcriptional profiles after chronic low dose rate radiation in mice.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Adverse health outcomes of ionizing radiation given chronically at low dose rates are highly debated, a controversy also relevant for other stressors.

The biobehavioral and neuroimmune impact of low-dose ionizing radiation [PDF]

Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, 2012
In the clinical setting, repeated exposures (10-30) to low-doses of ionizing radiation (≤200 cGy), as seen in radiotherapy for cancer, causes fatigue. Almost nothing is known, however, about the fatigue inducing effects of a single exposure to environmental low-dose ionizing radiation that might occur during high-altitude commercial air flight, a ...

Application of Low Doses of Ionizing Radiation in Medical Therapies [PDF]

Dose-Response, 2020
The discovery of X-rays and radioactivity in 1895/1896 triggered a flood of studies and applications of radiation in medicine that continues to this day. They started with imaging fractures/organs and progressed to treating diseases by exposing areas to radiation from external and internal sources.

Low-Dose Radiation Can Cause Epigenetic Alterations Associated With Impairments in Both Male and Female Reproductive Cells

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Humans are regularly and continuously exposed to ionizing radiation from both natural and artificial sources. Cumulating evidence shows adverse effects of ionizing radiation on both male and female reproductive systems, including reduction of testis ...
