It is hypothesised that Se deficiency, as it occurs in several parts of the world, may aggravate harmful effects of ROS-inducing stressors such as ionising radiation. We performed a study in the newly established LDR-facilityFigaroon the combined effects of Se deprivation and LDR γ exposure ...
Non-ionising radiationHealth effectsAdaptive responseABSTRACT In 1992, Dr. Sheldon Wolff published his widely cited paper “Is Radiation All Bad? The Search for Adaptation”[1]. Dr. Sheldon Wolff was widely honored for his findings on the stimulatory effects of low doses of ionizing radiation. ...
Germline mutations in ATM are responsible for an autosomal recessive disease, ataxia-telangiectasia, characterised by progressive neurodegeneration, telangiectasia, immunodeficiency, thymic and gonadal atrophy, marked predisposition to malignancies and acute sensitivity to ionising radiation (Shiloh and Ziv, 2013...

There are two different types of radiography cameras: One uses the Gamma radiation source and another uses X-ray radiation source. Inside the gamma radiography camera, there are small radioactive sources in the form of pellets (typically of the size 0.3 mm x 2.5 mm dia.) What are the ...
(RF) end of the spectrum. Radiation which is called "ionizing" can be absorbed by tissue and break molecules apart, such as gamma rays and x-rays, are known to cause cancer. The concern is that the cell phone and it's antenna (the source of the radiation) are held close against the...
treatment with 17-AAG results in ubiquitination-dependent degradation of BRCA1, resulting in decreased DNA damage repair.41 17-AAG may therefore allow induction of a 'BRCAness' state, which increases sensitivity to common DNA-damaging therapeutics such as ionising radiation as well as PARP ...
Structural modelling predicts XLS to be highly similar to XRCC4 and XLF, and depletion of XLS delays ionising radiation (IR)-induced DNA DSB repair. Moreover, XLS is associated with other core c-NHEJ factors. Our data strongly suggest that c9orf142/XLS represents a novel c-NHEJ component ...
