Endothelial cells generate 20-fold more of a unique form of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase), termed Secretory ASMase, than any other cell in the body. Secretory ASMase activation is required for ...

Ionizing radiation ... particularly the effect of low-dose radiation. Notably, if detection and repair of DNA damage by the DDR pathway fails below a certain threshold, cells might die owing ...

Ionising radiation can have a significant effect on biological tissue. Exposing cells to the energy transferred by the radiation will have the following effects on cells: Cells can be altered by ...

Because X-rays involve ionizing radiation that can deposit energy in human cells and cause tissue changes, it is important to minimize any associated risk to the patient. This is done by limiting the ...

The study “presents an intriguing and essentially unanticipated finding that tumor cells have the capacity to promote a ‘secondary wave of strand breaks’ in response to stress such as ionizing ...
