Biological effects were examined in confluent cultures of fibroblasts and epithelial cells
exposed to very low mean doses of alpha radiation, doses by which only 1-2% of the cells …

The dogma that genetic alterations are restricted to directly irradiated cells has been
challenged by observations in which effects of ionizing radiation, characteristically …

Cells that are not irradiated but are affected by “stress signal factors” released from
irradiated cells are called bystander cells. These cells, as well as directly irradiated ones …

The existence of a bystander effect following both alpha and gamma irradiation of many cell
lines is not now in dispute. The significance of this effect for cancer risk assessment and …

The major adverse consequences of radiation exposures are attributed to DNA damage in
irradiated cells that has not been correctly restored by metabolic repair processes. However …
