Radiation-induced chromosomal instability in human fibroblasts: temporal effects and the influence of radiation quality.

abstract：:A review is presented to the program of education and training setup within the DoReMi Network of Excellence. DoReMi was funded by Euratom under the EU 7th Framework Programme to coordinate the EU research into risks from low-dose ionizing radiation. It was seen to be necessary to form a network of expert institutions...
