Proteomics provides insights into radiation-induced heart damage, challenging the historical view of the heart as a radiation-resistant organ.
The heart was long considered as a radiation-resistant organ that showed no obvious signs of damage at doses below 30 Gy. This view started to change slowly in the beginning of this century when da...
