Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we have integrated DNA damage simulations using a Monte Carlo simulation code and Bystander effects simulation models into a macroscopic dose calculation algorithm to seamlessly implement cell lethality estimation integrating DNA damage caused by direct radiation and intercellular networks. We have worked on the implementation of this method.
We compared the DNA damage obtained by DNA-level Monte Carlo simulations with experimental cellular data and presented the validity of the simulation results.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

生体組織への放射線照射効果について,DNAレベルの放射線シミュレーションと細胞間ネットワークモデルを統合することに成功した.本研究は放射線治療における低線量被ばく部分に対しての放射線効果を見積もるための基礎となる研究であり,次世代の放射線治療につながる研究であると考える.
