Radiotherapy (ionising radiation; IR) is utilised in the treatment of~ 50% of all human
cancers, and where the therapeutic effect is largely achieved through DNA damage …

Purpose The scientific community shows great interest in the study of DNA damage
induction, DNA damage repair, and the biological effects on cells and cellular systems after …

The lack of molecular-level understanding for the electronic excitation response of DNA to
charged particle radiation, such as high-energy protons, remains a fundamental scientific …

This study was conducted to increase the productivity of biomass that contains high
astaxanthin content by developing a mutant Haematococcus pluvialis strain with strong …

Histone proteins protect cellular DNA from radiation damage. We find that arginine, a major
component of histone proteins, protects DNA from lesions induced by low-energy secondary …

Ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) irradiation regimes have the potential to spare normal tissue
while keeping equivalent tumoricidal capacity than conventional dose rate radiotherapy …

Abstract Purpose: Track structure Monte Carlo (MC) codes have achieved successful
outcomes in the quantitative investigation of radiation-induced initial DNA damage. The aim …

Metallic nanoparticles are promising agents for increasing the effectiveness of radiation
therapy by making cells more sensitive to radiation. High atomic number nanoparticles …

Charged-particle radiotherapy (CPRT) utilizing low and high linear energy transfer (low-
