Molecular Determinants of Radiation Response

The DNA of mammalian cells is constantly under assault from both endogenous and exogenous sources.  Ionizing radiation is one of the most important sources of genomic injury because of its ability to inflict substantial cellular damage that is both therapeutic as well as mutagenic.  Mammalian cells...
