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 …

Animal experimental studies indicate that acute or chronic low-dose ionizing radiation
(LDIR)(≤ 100 mSv) or low-dose-rate ionizing radiation (LDRIR)(< 6 mSv/h) exposures may …

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

The linear no-threshold (LNT) model was introduced into the radiological protection system
about 60 years ago, but this model and its use in radiation protection are still debated today …

The linear no-threshold (LNT) model is currently used to estimate low dose radiation (LDR)
induced health risks. This model lacks safety thresholds and postulates that health risks …

A 31-gene signature derived by integrating four different microarray experiments, has been
found to have a potential for predicting radiosensitivity of cancer cells, but it was seldom …

Objectives Computed tomography (CT) imaging is considered relatively safe and is often
used in preclinical research to study physiological processes. However, the sum of low-dose …

Medical diagnostic X-ray workers are one occupational group that expose to the long-term
low-dose external radiation over their working lifetime, and they may under risk of different …

Purpose: Recently, new studies have brought to light the potential risks of low dose radiation
(LDR) in cancer. In this review, we discuss in detail the detrimental effects of LDR in some …

Exposures of brain tissue to ionizing radiation can lead to persistent deficits in cognitive
functions and behaviors. However, little is known about the quantitative relationships …
