Simple Summary A brief description of the methodologies to simulate ionizing radiation
transport in biologically relevant matter is presented. Emphasis is given to the physical …

Track structures and resulting DNA damage in human cells have been simulated for
hydrogen, helium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and neon ions with 0.25–256 MeV/u energy …

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 …

We extended a generic Geant4 application for mechanistic DNA damage simulations to an
Escherichia coli cell geometry, finding electron damage yields and proton damage yields …

Ionizing radiation results in various kinds of DNA lesions such as double strand breaks
(DSBs) and other non-DSB base lesions. These lesions may be formed in close proximity …

The multiscale approach to the assessment of biodamage resulting upon irradiation of
biological media with ions is reviewed, explained and compared to other approaches. The …

Monte Carlo track structure codes provide valuable information for understanding radiation
effects down to the DNA level, where experimental measurements are most difficult or …

In radiation targeted therapy and genetic risk estimation of low dose radiation protection
there is a crucial need for full description of DNA damage response and repair (DDR) …

Electronic excitations are produced when matter is exposed to ion irradiation comprising
highly energetic ions. These electronic stopping excitations are responsible for ion beam …

Radiation damage following the ionising radiation of tissue has different scenarios and
mechanisms depending on the projectiles or radiation modality. We investigate the radiation …
