Protection of mouse spermatogonia against X-ray induced translocations

RBE and genetic susceptibility of mouse and rat spermatogonial stem cells to protons, heavy charged particles and 1.5MeV neutrons

“…Since then, the radiation genetics laboratory at Bulgaria's NCRRP has analyzed the effects of exposure to different kinds of irradiation, including irradiation during real space flights, on various mammalian species. A portion of the results of these experiments has been published in a final (Benova, 1987;Bajrakova et al, 1974Bajrakova et al, , 1976a or preliminary design (Baev et al, 1973). Another portion, mainly relating to the effects of irradiation during space flights or low-and high-LET radiation exposure in accelerators, remains unpublished or partially reported in Russia (Bajrakova and Fedorenko, 1991;Benova et al, 1985) and in Bulgaria (Nikolov et al, 1985;Pantev et al, 1980;Vaglenov, 1985;Vaglenov and Serova, 1987;Vaglenov et al, 1986Vaglenov et al, , 1989.…”
