The present system of radiation protection assumes that exposure at low doses and/or low
dose-rates leads to health risks linearly related to the dose. They are evaluated by a …

Purpose: Ionizing radiation (IR) is a ubiquitous environmental stressor with genotoxic and
epigenotoxic capabilities. Terrestrial IR, predominantly a low-linear energy transfer (LET) …

We reviewed available evidence in medical literature concerning experimental models of
exposure to ionizing radiations (IR) and their mechanisms of producing damages on living …

Abstract Knowledge about established breast carcinogens can support improved and
modernized toxicological testing methods by identifying key mechanistic events. Ionizing …

Ionizing radiation is known to cause DNA damage, yet the mechanisms underlying potential
transgenerational effects of exposure have been scarcely studied. Previously, we observed …

Background Methionine, a central molecule in one-carbon metabolism, is an essential
amino acid required for normal growth and development. Despite its importance to …

Climate change presents multiple challenges to rural communities. Here, we investigated
the toxicological potential of the six types of particulate matter most common to rural …

Human deep space and planetary travel is limited by uncertainties regarding the health risks
associated with exposure to galactic cosmic radiation (GCR), and in particular the high …

Purpose Radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis (RIPF) is a common and serious adverse
effect of radiotherapy for thoracic tumors, which occurs in the irreversible stage of radiation …

Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is a type of retrotransposons comprising
17% of the human and mouse genome, and has been found to be associated with several …
