Radiation Biology: Molecular Foundations and Clinical Applications

Radiation Biology: Molecular Foundations and Clinical Applications is a comprehensive exploration of the effects of radiation on living organisms, delving into the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular responses.This book examines critical topics such as radiation-induced DNA damage, repair processes, and molecular signaling pathways.It provides a detailed look at how cells respond to radiation, addressing cell cycle control, apoptosis, and the effects of radiation on immune system functionality.As a resource for researchers, it bridges the gap between molecular biology and clinical oncology, offering insights into radiation's role in both therapeutic contexts and its broader impact on human biology. In addition to its focus on molecular responses, the book covers topics like tumor microenvironment and metabolism, the role of epigenetics in radiation biology, and the hallmarks of cancer relevant to radiation therapy.It also provides discussions on chemotherapeutic agents, radiation
