Research Article Summary • Core focus:This article explores how low-dose ionizing radiation affects biological systems, with particular emphasis on subtle cellular and molecular responses that arise at doses far below those typically associated with direct DNA damage....

The Troubled History of Cancer Risk Assessment – Calabrese

by Mark Miller | Mar 24, 2019 | Featured Articles, LNT Hypothesis

CONCLUSION The story of cancer risk assessment as told by regulatory agencies such as the EPA is really a profound example of flawed science—the product of errors, deception, perverse incentives from academic grants, and ideology. A major remaining question is whether...

Stimulation of antioxidant machinery in rats by low dose ionizing radiation: a concept of radiation hormesis. Sharma S1, Singla N, Chadha VD, Dhawan DK. Author information Abstract OBJECTIVE: The concept of radiation hormesis has been the matter of discussion with regard to beneficial effects to biological systems from low doses of ionizing radiations. However, its molecular basis is not well understood till now and the present study is a step forward to elucidate how low levels of ionizing radiation prove beneficial for functioning of biological systems.
