From cosmic rays to CT scans, radiation surrounds us but not all exposure is dangerous. Here’s how to separate fact from fear ...

Ionizing radiation produces different types of ROS; superoxide is particularly damaging to proteins, while other ROS are more damaging to DNA. Thus, said Hoffman, the ternary complex “doesn't protect ...

Ionizing radiation directly affects DNA structure by inducing DNA breaks, particularly, DSBs. Secondary effects are the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that oxidize proteins and lipids, ...

Radiotherapy, or radiation therapy, is the clinical use of high energy rays (ionizing radiation) to induce DNA damage in all exposed cells to ultimately kill cancer cells or prevent cancer growth.

Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

The first results of the ETH Zurich and ANSTO collaboration focused on silicon carbide (SiC) devices have been reported in ...
