DNA DAMAGE IN LENS EPITHELIAL CELLS EXPOSED TO OCCUPATIONALLY-RELEVANT X-RAY DOSES AND ROLE IN CATARACT FORMATION

DNA damage in lens epithelial cells exposed to occupationally-relevant X-ray doses and role in cataract formation

Abstract The current framework of radiological protection of occupational exposed medical workers reduced the eye-lens equivalent dose limit from 150 to 20 mSv per year requiring an accurate dosimetric evaluation and an increase understanding of radiation induced effects on Lens cells considering the typical scenario of occupational exposed medical

A recent perspective on fiber and hexon genes proteins analyses of fowl adenovirus towards virus infectivity - A review

Fowl adenovirus (FAdV) is a double-stranded DNA virus with a non-enveloped structure comprising three major proteins known as hexon, penton, and fiber.Molecular analysis which emphasis on hexon and fiber proteins is currently the major focus of curiosity for FAdV antigenicity and pathogenicity.Recently, disease outbreaks associated with FAdV infect
