The movie shows images of two cell nuclei which contain a gfp-tagged DNA repair protein (XRCC1). The lower cell nucleus was microbeam-irradiated in the pattern of the Columbia University Crown, and imaged are DNA repair foci lighting up at the locations of the DNA damage (cells courtesy of David Chen).
RARAF is dedicated to providing user-friendly radiation sources and bio-labs for research in biology, radiation biology, and radiation physics. For the interesting events at the Radiological Research Accelerator Facility, please visit the RARAF Facebook Page.
The 10th International Workshop: Microbeam Probes of Cellular Radiation Response will be hosted by RARAF on March 15-17, 2012.
