TL;DR: This study is the first to report conclusive evidence of the long-term persistence of bystander effects in radiation carcinogenesis target organ (spleen) upon localized distant exposure using the doses comparable with those used for clinical brain tumor treatments.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that miRNA changes occur prior to tumor formation and are not merely a consequence of a transformed state, as previously reported alterations in full-fledged tumors, including hepatocellular carcinomas.

TL;DR: It is observed that exposure to intense THz pulses for ten minutes leads to a significant induction of H2AX phosphorylation, indicating that THz pulse irradiation may cause DNA damage in exposed skin tissue.

TL;DR: It is proved that changes in the expression of de novo methyltransferases DNMT3a and DNMT2b are the most important in radiation-induced DNA methylation alterations, and the role of sex hormones, especially estrogen, in the generation of the sex-specific radiation- induced methylation changes is discussed.

TL;DR: It is shown that exposure of artificial human skin tissue to intense, picosecond-duration THz pulses affects expression levels of numerous genes associated with non-melanoma skin cancers, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.
