Description of the research topic:
Low-dose hyper-radiosensitivity (HRS) and increased radioresistance (IRR) have been observed in many different cell lines in vitro and in skin in vivo. It means that cell survival does not decrease monotonically as the function of radiation dose, but shows a local minimum. The underlying mechanisms of these phenomena are quite unclear. There is evidence, however, suggesting that they are the result of biological regulations (increased apoptosis at HRS, increased DNA damage repair at IRR). The objective of the research is to find out whether there are any quantifiable advantages of these phenomena at the tissue level with particular attention on mutation induction, cancer risk, and their implications on radiation protection and radiation therapy.
