Mice, myths, and men

Description: The author discusses some examples of how different experimental animal systems have helped to answer questions about the effects of radiation, in particular, carcinogenesis, and to indicate how the new experimental model systems promise an even more exciting future. Entwined in these themes will be observations about susceptibility and extrapolation across species. The hope of developing acceptable methods of extrapolation of estimates of the risk of radiogenic cancer increases as molecular bi… more

The impact of biology on risk assessment -- Workshop of the National Research Council`s board on radiation effects research. Meeting report

Description: The linear, nonthreshold extrapolation from a dose-response relationship for ionizing radiation derived at higher doses to doses for which regulatory standards are proposed is being challenged by some scientists and defended by others. It appears that the risks associated with exposures to doses of interest are below the risks that can be measured with epidemiologic studies. Therefore, many have looked to biology to provide information relevant to risk assessment. The workshop reported here, ``… more
