Abstract:
Exposure to X-rays causes pronounced morphofunctional changes in basal cells and modulates linear cellularity in the epidermal basal layer in guinea pigs. Radiosensitivity of skin basal cells of different location is different: the most pronounced morphofunctional changes were observed in the skin of the head (cheek) and abdomen.
