Sentences with phrase «ionizing radiation damages»

Ionizing radiation damages cells by producing very reactive compounds known as free radicals.

Not exact matches

The detector developed at UNH, known as DoSEN, short for Dose Spectra from Energetic Particles and Neutrons, measures and calculates the absorbed dose in matter and tissue resulting from the exposure to indirect and direct ionizing radiation, which can change cells at the atomic level and lead to irreparable damage.

But a study in tomorrow's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests ionizing radiation can stir up chemical changes in cytoplasm that lead to DNA damage.

Ionizing radiation, which can tear molecules apart and therefore potentially damage DNA — is the greater worry.

The results will be used to accurately calculate the damage and radiation dose delivered to patients in radiotherapy, when cancer cells are bombarded with ionizing radiation.

Dr. Su and her collaborators at University of Colorado, Boulder used ionizing radiation (IR) to induce DNA damage and apoptosis in cells of the wing imaginal disc, the immature form of the fly's wings.

Biophysical studies have shown that the damage arising to cells from an exposure to ionizing radiation declines in a linearly manner with decreasing dose, with some damage still occurring even at the lowest doses.

Experiments with mouse embryo support cells that express mutant DUB or pseudo-DUB proteins show an impaired immune response when infected with a virus and impaired DNA damage repair when exposed to ionizing radiation, further validating the need for complex's correct structure.

When cells in culture are exposed to ionizing radiation, even those not directly hit sustain damage to chromosomes.

Ionizing radiation is a potent DNA damaging agent that interacts with cellular DNA and induces lesions in the irradiated cells and prevents cell proliferation and induces cell death by apoptosis or necrosis depending on the radiation dose.

Exposure of tumor cells to clinically relevant low doses of ionizing radiation causes DNA damage and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

CCD detectors are particularly vulnerable to damage by ionizing radiation.

The idea is to avoid extra ionizing radiation, especially the kinds coming from nuke plants and nuke weapons and medical xrays, when possible because there is always the chance that they can cause DNA damage.

While «ionizing radiation» is strong enough to knock your molecules apart and so cause genetic damage without symptoms, «non-ionizing radiation» can only wiggle your molecules.

Ionizing radiation can damage DNA in the cells of our body, which in turn can lead to cancer.

Damage / loss caused or liability caused directly or indirectly from radioactive contamination or ionizing radiations from any nuclear power or nuclear waste or materials.

Loss or damage due to ionizing radiation or contamination by radioactivity from any nuclear fuel or from nuclear waste from the combustion of nuclear fuel is excluded from the insurance plan.
