Kalogeridi, M. A.; Kyrgias, G.; Zygogianni, A.; Kouvaris, J.; Theodorou, K.; Kelekis, N.; Kouloulias, V. (2014)

In the last decades the status of radiotherapy was tremendously increased in terms of conformity to the target as well as image-guided techniques in conjunction with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The technological ...

DNA damage and repair efficiency in lymphocytes from schizophrenic patients

Psimadas, D.; Messini-Nikolaki, N.; Zafiropoulou, M.; Fortos, A.; Tsilimigaki, S.; Piperakis, S. M. (2004)

In the present study we examined schizophrenic patients' lymphocytes sensitivity to the effects of external factors, such as hydrogen peroxide and gamma-irradiation and also their repair efficiency with the comet assay. ...

DNA damage in a human population affected by chronic psychogenic stress

Dimitroglou, E.; Zafiropoulou, M.; Messini-Nikolaki, N.; Doudounakis, S.; Tsilimigaki, S.; Piperakis, S. M. (2003)

The effects of chronic psychogenic stress on the expression of DNA damage and cellular response to the damage were investigated. Using the comet assay, basal DNA damage was found to be similar in lymphocytes of both affected ...

Effects of pulsed electric fields on DNA of human lymphocytes

Delimaris, J.; Tsilimigaki, S.; Messini-Nicolaki, N.; Ziros, E.; Piperakis, S. M. (2006)

The effects of pulsed electric fields of low frequency (50 Hz) on DNA of human lymphocytes were investigated. The influence of additional external factors, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and gamma-irradiation, as well ...
