Abstract: Radiation-induced bystander effects (RIBEs) are detected in cells that are not irradiated but receive signals from treated cells. The present study explored these bystander effects in a ...

Abstract: The radiation-induced bystander effect, wherein unirradiated cells near to or sharing medium with irradiated cells express biological responses, most often has been studied in ...

Irradiation-induced non-targeted/bystander effects (IRIBE) occur in a cell that is not directly traversed/hit by ionizing radiation (IR), but resides in the vicinity of one that is, or that has ...

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

Congress failed to pass legislation to compensate those poisoned by nuclear weapons activities. Meanwhile, money is flowing ...

Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells. MSK offers precise radiation therapy that kills breast cancer cells with fewer side effects from radiation. This keeps the healthy ...

Heavy-ion therapy, one of the most advanced radiotherapy techniques, has proven to be more effective than conventional X-rays and proton radiation in cancer treatment. However, the mechanisms behind ...

Radiation therapy for prostate cancer can cause short-term side effects such as diarrhea, urine changes, and more. Long-term side effects such as urinary and bowel problems may also occur.

It focuses the beam on only the affected tissue. This maximizes the level of radiation reaching the cancer while minimizing the effect of the radiation on healthy organs. The 5-day radiation for ...
