[REPORT SUMMARY] The Halosperm® kit to determine sperm DNA fragmentation
A simple and reliable procedure is now available, as a kit, to determine sperm DNA fragmentation. The integrity of sperm DNA is indeed being recognized as a new parameter of semen quality and a potential fertility predictor. However, it was not so far assessed as a routine par...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Cytogenetic experiments failed to detect clear evidence for a negative bystander response in human lymphocytes cultured with irradiated cells
Irradiated Go lymphocytes were fused to exponentially growing CHO cells and cultured for up to 30h. In the hybrid cells, lymphocyte PCCs were induced when CHO entered mitosis. Cells were harvested at various times after cell fusion using shake off and subsequently chromosome p...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Novel mechanisms of telomere maintenance
During the progression of Telosens work, novel mechanisms of telomere maintenance were identified. Previous work of Maria Blasco and her team (partner CNIO) provide evidence for the implication of epigenetic mechanisms in the regulation of mammalian telomere length and functio...

[REPORT SUMMARY] No negative bystander effects were observed for human cells (HSF) exposed to either 4.5MeV alpha particles or 10MeV protons using a microbeam
In order to study the parameter of LET and cell type on the development of bystander effects using cell survival as endpoint, we carried out experiments with primary human skin fibroblasts (HSF2). Using 4.5MeV alpha particles (LET = 100keV/µm) we were unable to measure bystand...

[RESULT IN BRIEF] Voraussetzungen für den Bystander-Effekt
Die Wirkung von Strahlung ist nicht nur auf die direkt bestrahlten Zellen begrenzt. Forscher untersuchten den so genannten Bystander-Effekt und dessen Bedeutung für den Strahlenschutz und die Strahlentherapie.

[RESULT IN BRIEF] Circunstancias necesarias para que se produzca el efecto espectador
Las consecuencias de la radiación no siempre se limitan a las células a las que el bombardeo alcanza directamente. Un grupo de investigadores de un proyecto comunitario ha investigado el llamado «efecto espectador» a fin de determinar su importancia tanto en la protección contra las radiaciones como en la radioterapia.

[REPORT SUMMARY] Impact of telomere dysfunction on the cellular and organismal response to radiation and genotoxic agents
In the past, Maria Blasco and her team (partner CNIO) have shown that mice with critically short telomeres are highly sensitive to ionising radiation, i.e. show increased chromosomal instability upon gamma-irradiation. More recent results from a close collaboration between par...

[RESULT IN BRIEF] Les conditions nécessaires à l'effet de proximité
Les conséquences de l'irradiation ne sont pas toujours limitées aux cellules directement ciblées par les bombardements ionisants. Les chercheurs ont étudié ce phénomène connu sous le nom d'effet de proximité (ou «bystander effect») afin de déterminer son importance à la fois dans le traitement thérapeutique et en radioprotection.

[RESULT IN BRIEF] Circumstances necessary for the bystander effect
The consequences of radiation are not always limited to the cells directly under bombardment. Researchers have investigated this so-called bystander effect in order to determine its relevance in both radiation protection and therapy.

[RESULT IN BRIEF] Circostanze necessarie per l'effetto bystander
Le conseguenze delle radiazioni non si limitano sempre alle cellule direttamente bombardate. I ricercatori hanno studiato il cosiddetto effetto bystander per determinarne l'importanza nella radioprotezione e nella radioterapia.
