DNA damage in lens epithelial cells exposed to occupationally-relevant X-ray doses and role in cataract formation

Abstract The current framework of radiological protection of occupational exposed medical workers reduced the eye-lens equivalent dose limit from 150 to 20 mSv per year requiring an accurate dosimetric evaluation and an increase understanding of radiation induced effects on Lens cells considering the typical scenario of occupational exposed medical

Complex genetic and epigenetic regulation deviates gene expression from a unifying global transcriptional program.

Environmental or genetic perturbations lead to gene expression changes.While most analyses of these changes emphasize the presence of qualitative differences on just a few genes, we now know that changes are widespread.This large-scale variation has been linked to the exclusive influence of a global transcriptional program determined by the new phy
