Abstract
Irradiation of a cell not only leads to the loss of reproductive integrity as measured by colony forming ability but also causes disturbances in many metabolic events and cell progression. Genetically determined repair and recovery processes may act on many of these parameters. It is, of course, not possible to measure all possible alterations, but the study of some key metabolic processes might help to understand the chain of events ultimately leading to cell death and the involvement of repair and recovery.
