Article Synopsis
- The study used the nematode C. elegans to explore how different types of ionizing radiation affect gene expression, focusing on charged particles like protons and iron ions.
- After exposing the nematodes to radiation, they found that 3.4% of the analyzed genes showed changes in expression, with 193 genes up-regulated and 406 down-regulated, suggesting specific responses to different radiation types.
- A novel statistical clustering method revealed unique regulatory patterns among the genes influenced by each type of radiation, implying that different radiation types activate distinct homeostatic mechanisms based on their characteristics.

The development of transport models for radiation shielding design and evaluation has provided a series of deterministic computer codes that describe galactic cosmic radiation (GCR), solar particle events, and experimental beams at particle accelerators. These codes continue to be modified to accommodate new theory and improvements to the particle interaction database (Cucinotta et al., 1994, NASA Technical Paper 3472, US Government Printing Office, Washington DC).

The Loma Linda University (LLU) Radiobiology Program coordinates basic research and proton beam service activities for the university and extramural communities. The current focus of the program is on the biological and physical properties of protons and the operation of radiobiology facilities for NASA-sponsored projects. The current accelerator, supporting facilities and operations are described along with a brief review of extramural research projects supported by the program.
