Low Doses and Radiation Risk in vivo
The “Linear No Threshold” hypothesis, used in all radiation protection practices, assumes that all doses, no matter how low, increase risk. However, in human and other mammalian cells, low doses of low LET radiation such as gamma and X-rays induce an adaptive response that protects against both radiation-induced and spontaneous risk. An in vivo test of the hypothesis in mice showed that a 100-m...
متن کاملSignal transduction processes in response to low dose ionizing radiation doses expected during space flight
A major issue affecting our plans to visit and one day inhabit other planets is that once outside the protective influence of our atmosphere, astronauts will experience dramatically increased exposure to ionizing radiation (IR). While shielding spacecraft can minimize effects, exposure to significant levels of both high and low linear energy transfer (LET) IR is inevitable. Understanding the ef...
متن کاملRare-Earth Separation Using Bacteria
The rare-earth elements are critical to many green energy technologies but are difficult to separate from one another because of their chemical similarity. We demonstrate an alternative, biogenic method based on the adsorption of lanthanide to the bacterium Roseobacter sp. AzwK-3b, immobilized on an assay filter, followed by subsequent desorption as a function of pH. The elution desorption data...
متن کاملRadiation hormesis and adoptive response induced by low doses of limiting radiation
Ionizing radiation has long been known to produce detrimental biological effects. Although these harmful effects are the results of high doses of exposure, some other maladies such as mutation and cancer seems to be induced at low doses of exposure. In recent decades, however, some pioneer scientists have indicated that ionizing radiation like many other essential agents has toxic effects ...
متن کاملINF/IL-4 increases after the low doses of gamma radiation in BALB/c spleen lymphocytes
Introduction: The effects of the low dose of ionizing radiation are not thoroughly evident due to an unavoidable increase of occupational exposure and the widespread application of ionizing radiation in medical and industrial fields. The aim of this study was to investigate immune system responses following the low doses of ionizing radiation. Materia...
