Radiation Proteomics - The effects of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation on cells and tissues

Methods of proteomics have been shown to be powerful tools in search of target proteins - proteins that respond in cells to an internal or an external stimulus. Proteomics is widely used in biomedical research. However, in radiation biology research, following exposures of living matter to low doses of either ionizing or non-ionizing radiation, proteomics approach is only very slowly gaining support. This book, by presenting the current status of the use of proteomics in radiation biology, will help to attract attention to the field of radiation proteomics.

List of contents

Mass spectrometry-based proteomics: Basic principles and emerging technologies and directions.- Ionizing radiation effects on cells, organelles and tissues on proteome level.- Radiation treatment effects on the proteome of the tumour microenvironment.- Serum and plasma proteomics and its possible use as detector and predictor of radiation diseases.- The Urine Proteome as a Radiation Biodosimeter.- Effects of radiofrequency-modulated electromagnetic fields on proteome.- Global protein expression in response to extremely low frequency magnetic fields.- Ultraviolet radiation effects on the proteome of skin cells.- Effects of ultraviolet radiation on skin cell proteome.
