چکیده

Measured cross sections after heavy ion bombardment, for both single and double strand breaks of SV-40 virus in EO buffer (which emphasizes indirect effects), are consistent with the theory of Butts and Katz for 1-hit detectors.

Residual DNA double strand breaks correlates with excess acute toxicity from radiotherapy

Introduction: A high risk for development of severe side effects after radiotherapy may be correlated with high cellular radiosensitivity. To enhance radiation therapy efficiency a fast and reliable in-vitro test is desirable to identify radiosensitive patients. The aim of present study was to identify the mechanism of radiation induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and DSB r...

Modeling the distribution of deposited energy by alpha particles from Radon 223 decay and its effect on DNA

 The ionizing radiations, through physical and chemical processes, lead to simple and complex single- and double- strand breaks, as well as base lesions to the DNA. In this study, taking into account all the physical and chemical processes involved in the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter, the initial damage induced to DNA was evaluated for 5.7 MeV alpha-rays from Radon 223 isotope....

Simulation of strand breaks induced in DNA molecule by radiation of proton and Secondary particles using Geant4 code

Radiotherapy using various beams is one of the methods for treating cancer, Hadrons  used   to  treat cancers  that  are  near critical organs. The most important part of the cell that is damage by ionizing radiation is DNA. In this study, damages induced in the  genetic material of  living cells (DNA) defined by  the  atomic model from the  protein data bank (PDB) have been studied by  radiati...

3D-structured illumination microscopy reveals clustered DNA double-strand break formation in widespread γH2AX foci after high LET heavy-ion particle radiation

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) induced by ionising radiation are considered the major cause of genotoxic mutations and cell death. While DSBs are dispersed throughout chromatin after X-rays or γ-irradiation, multiple types of DNA damage including DSBs, single-strand breaks and base damage can be generated within 1-2 helical DNA turns, defined as a complex DNA lesion, after high Linear Energy T...

Gold nanoparticles can induce more apoptosis and double strand breaks on HT-29 cells irradiated by 18 MV photons

Introduction: To increase therapeutic ratio, using radio-sensitizers is recommended and nowadays some types of them are utilized clinically. In recent years, Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were considered as radio-sensitizers in many studies due to high atomic number. Although theoretical works showed that GNPs have an insignificant effect at MV energies, some In-vitro and In-vivo s...
