The development of protective agents against harmful radiations has been a subject of
investigation for decades. However, effective (ideal) radioprotectors and radiomitigators …

Purpose To compile a list of genes that have been reported to be affected by external
ionizing radiation (IR) and to assess their performance as candidate biomarkers for …

Previous investigations in gene expression changes in blood after radiation exposure have
highlighted its potential to provide biomarkers of exposure. Here, FDXR transcriptional …

Radiation-induced biological changes occurring within hours and days after irradiation can
be potentially used for either exposure reconstruction (retrospective dosimetry) or the …

Increasing utilization of nuclear power enhances the risks associated with industrial
accidents, occupational hazards, and the threat of nuclear terrorism. Exposure to ionizing …

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 …

Background In the event of an improvised nuclear device detonation, the prompt radiation
exposure would consist of photons plus a neutron component that would contribute to the …

FOXO3a and FOXM1 are two forkhead transcription factors with antagonistic roles in cancer
and DNA damage response. FOXO3a functions like a typical tumour suppressor, whereas …

Nuclear radiation and radioactive fallouts resulting from a nuclear weapon detonation or
reactor accidents could result in injuries affecting multiple sensitive organs, defined as acute …

Accurate assessment of the individual exposure dose based on easily accessible samples
(eg blood) immediately following a radiological accident is crucial. We aimed at developing …
