Ionizing radiation causes various lesions in human cells of which damage to DNA is no doubt biologically most significant. In particular, DNA doublestrand breaks (DSBs) pose a problem for the cells and the organism as a whole. The faithful repair of DSBs is probably the most critical challenge...

but it can also cause considerable and even permanent injury to the brain. Now, through preclinical experiments conducted in rats, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center researchers have developed a method to turn human stem cells into cells that are instructed to repair damage in the brain....
Protection of the hematopoietic system from radiation damage, and/or mitigation of hematopoietic injury are the two major strategies for developing medical countermeasure agents (MCM) to combat radiation-induced lethality. In the present study, we invest
To model radiation-induced damage in vitro, we adapted a recently described human Gut-on-a-Chip (Gut Chip) microfluidic culture device that is lined by human intestinal epithelium interfaced with a human vascular endothelium, which spontaneously differentiates and forms three-dimensional intestinal vill...
Your cell phone emits and receives signals. There is an electro magnetic field around each cell phone, which affects you. When its field overlaps your body, it causes irreversible damage to your body cells and brain cells. Cell phone damage can affect your memory, endocrine secretions, sexual ...
Bone marrow (hematopoietic syndrome)—This syndrome is caused by damage to stem cells in the bone marrow resulting in a reduction in cell lines. Symptoms include bleeding and infection (low platelets and leukocytes). Usually occurs after exposure to between 0.7 and 10 Gy (70– 1,000 rads). ...
DNA damage is one of the serious concerns in respect to infertility or testicular cancer. The question, however, is how such a low frequency RF radiation may cause DNA damage? This question is not easy to answer, but it is assumed that a RF electro-magnetic field is classified as non-ion...
Ionizing radiation has been pivotal in cancer therapy since its discovery. Despite its therapeutic benefits, IR causes significant acute and chronic complications due to DNA damage and the generation of reactive oxygen species, which harm nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins. While cancer cells are mo...
