radiogeenejä
Radiogeenejä is a Finnish term that translates to "radiogenes" in English. It refers to genes that are either directly activated by radiation or are involved in the cellular response to radiation damage. These genes play crucial roles in various biological processes, including DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
When cells are exposed to ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays, it can cause damage
Other radiogenes are involved in more long-term responses, such as suppressing cell division to allow time
