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 …

Transposable elements (TEs) comprise a group of repetitive sequences that bring positive,
negative, as well as neutral effects to the host organism. Earlier considered as “junk DNA,” …

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

Extensive incorporation of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into industrial and biomedical
applications increases the risks of exposure to these potentially hazardous materials. While …

Endogenous retroelements, transposons that mobilize through RNA intermediates, include
some of the most abundant repetitive sequences of the human genome, such as Alu and …

The genetic material of every organism exists within the context of regulatory networks that
govern gene expression, collectively called the epigenome. Epigenetics has taken center …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) comprise a heterogeneous population of multipotent
stromal cells and can be isolated from various tissues and organs. Due to their regenerative …

Exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation (IR)(> 0.5 Gy) negatively affects health, but less
is known about the effects of low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR). Recent evidence suggests …
