Retrotransposons have generated about 40% of the human genome. This review examines
the strategies the cell has evolved to coexist with these genomic “parasites”, focussing on …

The present system of radiation protection assumes that exposure at low doses and/or low
dose-rates leads to health risks linearly related to the dose. They are evaluated by a …

Understanding how organisms cope with global change is a major scientific challenge. The
molecular pathways underlying rapid adaptive phenotypic responses to global change …

Transposable elements (TEs) are responsible for significant genomic variation in plants. Our
understanding of the evolutionary forces shaping TE polymorphism has lagged behind other …

Purpose: Ionizing radiation (IR) is a ubiquitous environmental stressor with genotoxic and
epigenotoxic capabilities. Terrestrial IR, predominantly a low-linear energy transfer (LET) …

We reviewed available evidence in medical literature concerning experimental models of
exposure to ionizing radiations (IR) and their mechanisms of producing damages on living …

After decades of debate about the existence of non‐genetic inheritance, the focus is now
slowly shifting towards dissecting its underlying mechanisms. Here, we propose a new …

Transposable elements (TEs) are drivers of genome evolution and affect the expression
landscape of the host genome. Stress is a major factor inducing TE activity; however, the …

Radiotherapy (RT) plus immunotherapy is a promising modality; however, the therapeutic
effects are insufficient, and the molecular mechanism requires clarification to further develop …

Organisms mount the cellular stress response whenever environmental parameters exceed
the range that is conducive to maintaining homeostasis. This response is critical for survival …
