MODELING OF IONIZING RADIATION-INDUCED CHROMOSOME ABERRATION AND TUMOR PREVALENCE BASED ON TWO CLASSES OF DNA DOUBLE-STRAND BREAKS CLUSTERING IN CHROMATIN DOMAINS

Modeling of ionizing radiation-induced chromosome aberration and tumor prevalence based on two classes of DNA double-strand breaks clustering in chromatin domains

There has been some controversy over the use of radiobiological models when modeling the dose-response curves of ionizing radiation (IR)-induced chromosome aberration and tumor prevalence, as those curves usually show obvious non-targeted effects (NTEs) at low doses of high linear energy transfer (LET) radiation.The lack of understanding the contri

Blocking Adenosine/A2AR Pathway for Cancer Therapy

Adenosine is a metabolite produced abundantly in the tumor microenvironment, dampening immune response in inflamed tissues via adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) which is widely expressed on 2A immune cells, inhibiting anti-tumor immune response accordingly.Therefore, blocking adenosine signaling pathway is of potential to promote anti-tumor immunity.Th
