In both pediatric and adult patients, cranial radiation therapy causes a debilitating cognitive decline that is poorly understood and currently untreatable. This decline is characterized by ...
We have demonstrated that cranial irradiation markedly alters hippocampal progenitor-cell biology. Within the irradiated hippocampus, precursor proliferation is reduced by 62% and neuro-genesis is ...
Heavy-ion irradiation, as a novel breeding method, has demonstrated high efficiency in creating diverse new mutants. Compared to other physical mutagenic sources, such as X-rays and γ-rays, ...
DURING irradiation therapy the blood-forming tissues are subjected to a great strain. At first this becomes noticeable in the form of a decreased white-cell count. This leucopænia sometimes ...
