The Mechanisms of Radiation-Induced Bystander Effect
The radiation-induced bystander effect is the phenomenon which non-irradiated cells exhibit effects along with their different levels as a result of signals received from nearby irradiated cells. Responses of non-irradiated cells may include changes in process of translation, gene expression, cel...

Summary: | The radiation-induced bystander effect is the phenomenon which non-irradiated cells
exhibit effects along with their different levels as a result of signals received from
nearby irradiated cells. Responses of non-irradiated cells may include changes in process
of translation, gene expression, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cells death. These
changes are confirmed by results of some In-Vivo studies. Most well-known important
factors affecting radiation-induced bystander effect include free radicals, immune system
factors, expression changes of some genes involved in inflammation pathway and
epigenetic factors |
