Recovery in mammalian cells irradiated with a beam of pi--mesons
The British Journal of Radiology
|April 1, 1976
Abstract:
HeLa cells have been irradiated in a beam of pi--mesons using fractionated exposures. The response-time curve for cells irradiated in the peak and in the plateau regions showed evidence of recovery. For cells irradiated in the post-peak position recovery was either absent or delayed.

02:36DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle
In response to DNA damage, cells can pause the cell cycle to assess and repair the breaks. However, the cell must check the DNA at certain critical stages during the cell cycle. If the cell cycle pauses before DNA replication, the cells will contain twice the amount of DNA. On the other hand, if cells arrest after DNA replication but before mitosis, they will contain four times the normal amount of DNA. With a host of specialized proteins at their disposal,cells must use the right protein at...
