Requirements for Identification of Low Dose and Non-Linear Mutagenic Responses to Ionising Radiation
Cancer results from multiple changes in gene expression that can occur both genetically and epigenetically. High doses of radiation can lead to mutations and cancer. At high doses the number of mutations caused by radiation is essentially linear with dose. Low dose radiation induced protective respo...
