Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the biological effects of radiation, including DNA damage response to ionizing and UV radiation, and the uptake of naturally occurring radionuclides and rare earth elements by crops in high background radiation areas. It also investigates the use of cell-free DNA as indicators of radiotherapy effects and toxicity in prostate cancer, and evaluates the efficacy of dietary supplements in mitigating radiation-induced enteritis in rats. Additionally, the journal examines regulatory frameworks for radon spas in Central Europe.
