X-irradiation

His first scientific paper was published in 1952, and concerned the effect of X-irradiation on susceptibility to influenza virus in mice.

Not long afterward, he published a paper on the lag phase of E. coli, which is also influenced by X-irradiation.

As with blood, X-irradiation kills off the stem cells, so that when cells are lost from the surface there are no new cells to replace them.

DNA cyclase, which recloses imidazole rings of guanine and adenine damaged by x-irradiation (1985).

These results suggest that the combination of BNCT with X-irradiation deserves further evaluation in a larger group of patients.

X-irradiation destroys the stem cells and the resulting depletion of blood cells - no more are made - is the basis of radiation sickness, and leads to death.

Again, just as it does in the skin, X-irradiation kills off the stem cells and this soon has dire effects on the surface of the gut, giving rise to one of the major causes of radiation sickness.

Based on experimental animal data, which showed that BNCT in combination with X-irradiation produced enhanced survival compared to BNCT alone, Miyatake and Kawabata combined BNCT, as described above, with an X-ray boost.

Mouse ICM is much more susceptible to lethal damage by X-irradiation or anti-metabolites than TE and treatment of embryos (starting from the 2- to 8- cell stage) with a variety of these reagents has been used to generate trophectodermal vesicles devoid of any apparent ICM (discussed in ref. 28).
