Chronic exposure of humans to high level natural background radiation leads to robust expression of protective stress response proteins

Abstract Understanding exposures to low doses of ionizing radiation are relevant since most environmental, diagnostic radiology and occupational exposures lie in this region. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive cellular responses at these doses, and the subsequent health outcomes, remain un...
