Hormetic Response to Low-Dose Radiation: Focus on the Immune System and Its Clinical Implications

Hormetic Response to Low-Dose Radiation: Focus on the Immune System and Its Clinical Implications

The interrelationship between ionizing radiation and the immune system is complex, multifactorial, and dependent on radiation dose/quality and immune cell type. High-dose radiation usually results in immune suppression. On the contrary, low-dose radiation (LDR) modulates a variety of immune response...
