Ionizing radiation is considered a non-threshold ... to affect low-dose radiation cancer risk. Here, the types of DNA damage induced at low doses, the DNA damage response (DDR; a network of ...

Radiation inflicts extensive damage on cells’ DNA. For many cells, the damage is too complex ... a ‘secondary wave of strand breaks’ in response to stress such as ionizing radiation,” David Gewirtz, a ...

All forms of ionizing radiation have sufficient energy to ionize atoms and potentially cause damage to DNA. Ionizing radiation sources are found in a wide range of occupational settings. Proper ...

Researchers bombarded lichens with a year's worth of Martian radiation in just 5 hours — and they survived, hinting that the ...

Although UV light in the UV-A through UV-C range is not ionizing, it damages DNA and ... the cellular damage even had a chance. Additionally, the penetration depth of EM radiation (EMR) into ...

A new report has found a troubling connection between a surge in hearing problems in young people and AirPods.

The answer lies in a damage-suppressing protein (Dsup) that binds to DNA and minimizes harmful strand breaks. 2 Inspired by tardigrades' remarkable radiation tolerance, researchers explored whether ...

Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, which took place from March 10–14 in The Woodlands, Texas, witnessed some very ...

Wi-Fi's use of non-ionizing radiation, which does not damage DNA, has led to studies largely determining it does not cause cancer. Although some early evidence suggested potential effects on cells ...

Mouse cells tweaked to produce the tardigrade protein incurred less DNA damage than unaltered cells — hinting at a new tool for cancer patient care.
