To obtain more insight in the molecular effects of chronic low dose irradiation on endothelial cells, HUVEC were irradiated with low-dose rate irradiation (137Cs gamma source; 0, 1.4 and 4.1 mGy/h) for several weeks. At different time points (1, 3 and 6 weeks) cells were harvested for RNA extraction...

The mammalian brain is especially sensitive to ionizing radiation during development, as shown by the increased occurrence of mental retardation and small head size in children who were in utero exposed to ionizing radiation after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These effects of prena...

Under certain circumstances, humans can be exposed to ionizing radiation from heavy ions. Examples are cancer patients undergoing particle therapy (e.g. carbon ions) or astronauts in deep Space missions (iron ions which contribute for a large fraction to the possible health effects of cosmic radiati...

In recent years there is a growing epidemiological indication of excess risk of cardiovascular disease at low doses of ionizing radiation without a clear-cut threshold. It is proposed that damage to the vascular endothelium is critical in radiation-related cardiovascular diseases. In order to identi...

Embryonic DNA damage, e.g. resulting from exposure to moderate and high doses of ionizing radiation, has important consequences on the normal neurodevelopment, often resulting in microcephaly that can be associated with seizures. The effects of prenatal radiation exposure have previously been invest...
