The human response to ionizing radiation (IR) varies among individuals. The first evidence
of the individual response to IR was reported in the beginning of the 20th century …

The lens of the eye has long been considered as a radiosensitive tissue, but recent research
has suggested that the radiosensitivity is even greater than previously thought. The 2012 …

For radiation protection purposes, noncancer effects with a threshold-type dose-response
relationship have been classified as tissue reactions (formerly called nonstochastic or …

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has considered for over 60
years that the lens of the eye is among the most radiosensitive tissues, and has …

Nanoparticle delivery to solid tumors is a prime challenge in nanomedicine. Here, we
approach this challenge through the lens of biogeochemistry, the field that studies the flow of …

Ionizing radiation (IR) damages DNA and other macromolecules, including proteins and
lipids. Most cell types can repair DNA damage and cycle continuously their macromolecules …

Radiation is a form of energy derived from a source that is propagated through material in
space. It consists of ionizing radiation or nonionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is a feature …

The influence of dose rate on radiation cataractogenesis has yet to be extensively studied.
One recent epidemiological investigation suggested that protracted radiation exposure …

Abstract Purpose: In 2011, the International Commission on Radiological Protection reduced
the threshold for the lens effects of low linear energy transfer (LET) radiation. On one hand …

Purpose Cataract (opacification of the ocular lens) is a typical tissue reaction (deterministic
effect) following ionizing radiation exposure, for which prevention dose limits have been …
