Eukaryotic genomes are wrapped around nucleosomes and organized into different levels
of chromatin structure. Chromatin organization has a crucial role in regulating all cellular …

Cesium-137 is a radionuclide of concern in fallout from reactor accidents or nuclear
detonations. When ingested or inhaled, it can expose the entire body for an extended period …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small non-coding RNAs that control gene
expression by targeting mRNAs and triggering either repression of translation or RNA …

Purpose This article will briefly review the origins and evolution of functional genomics, first
describing the experimental technology, and then some of the approaches applied to data …

Humans encounter diverse environmental factors which can have impact on their health.
One such environmental factor is ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is part of the physical …

The number of biomarker candidates is often much larger than the number of clinical patient
data points available, which motivates the use of a rational candidate variable filtering …

Exposure of the developing or adult brain to ionizing radiation (IR) can cause cognitive
impairment and/or brain cancer, by targeting neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). IR …

Hadron therapy by proton beams represents an advanced anti-cancer strategy due to its
highly localized dose deposition allowing a greater sparing of normal tissue and/or organs …

Background The underlying molecular processes representing stress responses to low-dose
ionising radiation (LDIR) in mammals are just beginning to be understood. In particular …

MELODI is the European platform dedicated to low-dose radiation risk research. From 7
October through 10 October 2013 the Fifth MELODI Workshop took place in Brussels …
