Differential Effects of Alpha-Particle Radiation and X-Irradiation on Genes Associated with Apoptosis

This study examined differential effects of alpha-(α-) particle radiation and X-rays on apoptosis and associated changes in gene expression. Human monocytic cells were exposed to α-particle radiation and X-rays from 0 to 1.5 Gy. Four days postexposure, cell death was measured by flow cytometry and...
