Advances in radiation biology. Volume 9
- eds.
This volume covers a wide variety of subjects from radiation effects on molecules to those on tissues, and the authors and editors have maintained the level of excellence extant in the previous volumes. It is a valuable book not only for this reason but also because it is now the only publication dedicated to reviews on the action of ionizing radiation on biological systems. The specific topics are revealed by the chapter titles: (1) the role of radiation and chemicals in the induction of mutations and epigenetic changes during carcinogenesis; (2) radiation-induced vascular injury and its reaction to late effects in normal tissues; (3) evaluation of nitroheterocyclic radiosensitizers using spheroids; (4) radiation-induced strand breaks in DNA: chemical and enzymatic analysis of end groups and mechanistic aspects; (5) radiation-induced events and their time scale in mammalian cells; (6) solid-state radiation chemistry of DNA: the bases; (7) intrinsic radiosensitivity of proliferating mammalian cells; and (8) factors governing the use of microwave/radiofrequency energies in cancer therapy.
