Animal experimental studies indicate that acute or chronic low-dose ionizing radiation
(LDIR)(≤ 100 mSv) or low-dose-rate ionizing radiation (LDRIR)(< 6 mSv/h) exposures may …

The term radiation-induced bystander effect is used to describe radiation-induced biological
changes that manifest in unirradiated cells remaining within an irradiated cell population …

The carcinogenic risk induced by low doses of ionizing radiation is controversial. It cannot
be assessed with epidemiologic methods alone because at low doses the data are …

The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is the primary federal agency
responsible for promulgating regulations and policies to protect people and the environment …

While radiation health risks at low doses have traditionally been estimated from high-dose
studies, we have reviewed recent literature and concluded that the mechanisms of action for …

Purpose: This review evaluates the role of dose rate on cell and molecular responses. It
focuses on the influence of dose rate on key events in critical pathways in the development …

Radiation therapy is a primary treatment modality for brain tumors, yet it has been linked to
the increased incidence of secondary, post-radiation therapy cancers. These cancers are …

Purpose: This review is focused on the potential impact of low dose radiation effects on
intercellular induction of apoptosis and the underlying reactive-oxygen species (ROS) …

The concept of radiation-induced hormesis, whereby a low dose is beneficial and a high
dose is detrimental, has been gaining attention in the fields of molecular biology …

Adaptive responses to low doses of low LET radiation occur in all organisms thus far
examined, from single cell lower eukaryotes to mammals. These responses reduce the …
