Radioactivity: risk and hope. Workshop in memory of Maria Sklodowska-Curie. Book of abstracts

摘要

The abstracts presented in this booklet show accomplishments of the participants in radiobiology and neutron cancer therapy. Subject of many works is cellular response to ionizing radiations (apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, aberrations, mutations, carcinogenesis). Radiation induced DNA damages (monitored using micronucleus assay, comet assay and counting of chromosome aberrations) and DNA repair in human lymphocytes was investigated. Several works concerned application of neutrons in the therapy of neoplasms
