Genotoxic pollutants lead to both DNA damage and changes in cell repair mechanisms.
Selecting suitable biomonitors is a fundamental step in genotoxicity studies. Thus, zebrafish …

Ionizing radiation from radionuclides impacts marine aquatic biota and the scope of
investigation must be wider than just invertebrates. We intend to detail and illustrate …

Background and purpose Motivated by first animal trials showing the normal tissue
protecting effect of electron and photon Flash irradiation, ie at mean dose rates of 100 Gy/s …

Background and purpose Continuing recent experiments at the research electron
accelerator ELBE at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf the influence of beam …

Background and purpose In consequence of a previous study, where no protecting proton
Flash effect was found for zebrafish embryos, potential reasons and requirements for …

The comet assay has become one of the methods of choice for the evaluation and
measurement of DNA damage. It is sensitive, quick to perform and relatively affordable for …

Mutigenerational studies are now of great interest in ecotoxicology and previous studies
have shown the importance of conducting multigenerational studies when assessing …

In recent decades, crude recycling of electronic waste (e-waste) has caused serious
pollution and threatened wild organisms in certain regions. It is therefore valuable to …

Perfluoro octane sulfonate (PFOS) and cadmium (Cd) are toxic elements in the environment.
As a micronutrient trace element, selenium (Se) can mitigate the adverse effects induced by …

The increasing use of proton radiotherapy during the last decade and the rising number of
long-term survivors has given rise to a vital discussion on potential effects on normal tissue …
