Description of the research topic:

Low-dose hyper-radiosensitivity (HRS) and increased radioresistance (IRR) have been observed in many different cell lines. It means that cell survival does not decrease monotonically as the function of radiation dose, but there is a local minimum in survival. However, the underlying mechanisms of these phenomena are quite unclear. There is evidence suggesting that low dose hypersensitivity is caused by biological regulation. Therefore the objective of this research to find out whether there are any advantages of this phenomenon at the tissue level.
