TL;DR: In this article, established and emerging dosimetry methods are reviewed, which can be used immediately and retrospectively following external ionising radiation exposure, and individual characteristics of these techniques, their limitations and potential for further development are discussed, and their usefulness in specific exposure scenarios is discussed.

TL;DR: The DCA has been confirmed as the gold standard biodosimetry method, but in situations where speed and throughput are more important than ultimate accuracy, the emerging rapid molecular assays have the potential to become useful triage tools.

TL;DR: Endothelial cells seem to be most sensitive to combination of mTOR inhibition and radiotherapy, and the combination of radiotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy with mTOR inhibitor RAD001 (Everolimus) might exert additive/synergistic effects on tumor growth.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of the 1st Consultation on the Development of a Global Biodosimetry Laboratories Network for Radiation Emergencies (BioDoseNet).
