Curtis, S B

A unified formulation of cell inactivation has been developed that incorporates major ideas of several theories (hypotheses) of how individual mammalian cells are inactivated by ionizing radiation. Elements from the repair-misrepair, lethal-potentially lethal, sublesion interaction, and track structure models are combined to produce a single set of mutually compatible hypotheses.
