摘要: When treating cancer using radiation therapy, it is critical to increase patient survival rates and reduce side effects. In this respect, proton beam treatment performs better than other treatments because of its high target specificity. However, complications still remain after treatment. Among them, the risk progeny irradiation their parents a major concern. study, we analyzed transgenerational effects model organism Caenorhabditis. elegans. We found that germline apoptosis increased were sustained transgenerationally. Moreover, identified germline-specific histone methyltransferase component, SET-2, has role in transmitting effect on next generation irradiation.
