Cell Division, Development, and Radiation Injury

  • Chapter
The Dynamics of Meristem Cell Populations

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 18))

Abstract

This paper deals with two interrelated ideas: (a) the relation of cell division to radiation injury and death, and (b) the consequent usefulness of certain irradiated systems for studying the role of cell division in development.

Research sponsored by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission under contract with the Union Carbide Corporation.
