Worms in space? A model biological dosimeter.
Although it is well known that radiation causes mutational damage, little is known about the biological effects of long-term exposure to radiation in space. Exposure to radiation can result in serious heritable defects in experimental animals, and in humans, susceptibility to cancer, radiation-sickness, and death at high dosages. It is possible to do ground controlled studies of different types...
متن کاملChromosome aberrations in plants as a monitoring system.
The potential of higher plants as a first-tier assay system for detecting chemical mutagens is evaluated. The use of plant tissue (primarily root tips and pollen mother cells) for studying the induction of chromosomal aberrations is one of the oldest, simplest, most reliable, and inexpensive methods available. Specific types of abnormalities have been induced by different classes of pesticides....
متن کاملDental tissue as a TLD dosimeter
Background: Thermoluminescence dosimetry is one of the dosimetry procedures used widely as routine and personal dosimeters. In order to extend this kind of dosimeters, dental tissue has been examined and was found promising as a TLD dosimeter. Materials and Methods : In this study, 70 health teeth were collected. The only criterion, which was considered for selection of the teeth, was the healt...
متن کاملStructural Chromosome Aberrations
Structural chromosome aberrations or chromosome mutations represent apart from aneuploidies the most frequent pathologic findings in applied chromosome diagnostics. But they also occur as combinations of both types as in unstable rearrangements or in chaotic karyotypes of early stages of embryonic development. Depending on the indication for chromosome analysis—child with developmental retardat...
