Task Group 75
Stem Cell Radiobiology
Task Group objectives:
- To review stem cell biology and radiobiology with reference to mechanisms of radiation carcinogenesis.
- To consider the high-WT tissues and previous ICRP reports for specific tissues: to compare the response of stem and associated cells in different tissues with the respective risks of cancer, and elucidate the likely stem cell role.
- To use knowledge of stem cell responses and carcinogenic risks from homogeneous acute irradiations, to project stochastic risks for short-range radiations and chronic irradiation scenarios.
