Radiation-Induced Delay of Nuclear Pore Formation

We have shown that radiation affects the nuclear envelope, a membrane structure-closely associated with DNA. The density of nuclear pores visible on freeze-etch surfaces decreased at a rate of 0.042 (pores/mum2)/100 rad with respect to unirradiated cells. This is interpreted as a radiation-induced d...

Description
Summary:We have shown that radiation affects the nuclear envelope, a membrane structure-closely associated with DNA. The density of nuclear pores visible on freeze-etch surfaces decreased at a rate of 0.042 (pores/mum2)/100 rad with respect to unirradiated cells. This is interpreted as a radiation-induced delay in development of the nuclear envelope.
