  4. 12. The role of MTH1 in ultraviolet radiation-induced mutagenesis

    Author : Asal Fotouhi; Siamak Haghdoost; Harry Vrieling; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ultraviolet radiation; MTH1; reactive oxygen species; 8-oxo-dGTP; 2-OH-dATP; micronucleus; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is known to be highly mutagenic. What types of DNA lesions that are induced by different UVR wavelengths are still a matter of debate. UVR induces mutagenesis mostly by the formation of photoproducts and the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). READ MORE

  5. 13. Cellular responses to combined irradiation with alpha particles and X-rays

    Author : Alice Sollazzo; Andrzej Wojcik; Alexandros Georgakilas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radiation; DNA damage; mutations; alpha particles; X-rays; mixed beam; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Mixed radiation fields, where different ionizing particles act together, are very important in radiobiology and in radiation protection. Mixed beams are not only the most common form of radiation exposure, but the prediction of their biological effect is also full of uncertainties. READ MORE

  6. 14. Long-term radiobiological effects of 131I exposure - dose, age and time related transcriptomatic and proteomic rasponse in rats

    Author : Malin Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiation; thyroid; plasma; late effects; biomarkers; transcript; protein;

    Abstract : 131I is commonly used in the clinic for treating thyroid diseases, using the physiological uptake of iodine in thyroid, but also for other target tissues. 131I is also commonly released during nuclear accidents. READ MORE

  7. 15. Exploring phenomena that affect the fate and impact of radioactive materials in the blue mussel

    Author : Benedict Jaeschke; Clare Bradshaw; Andrew Turner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radioecology; ionising radiation; environmental protection; Mytilus edulis; bioaccumulation; dose-response; ecotoxicology; tritium; particle; hypoxia; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Abstract : Current protection of the marine environment from radiation is based largely on measuring, estimating and modelling accumulation and impact(s) of radionuclides in a few marine species. Using a relevant marine organism, this thesis focusses on investigating some poorly described phenomena that could cause deviations from predicted measurements. READ MORE
