Abstract
DNA double-strand break (DSB) is considered the most critical lesion among various types of radiation-induced DNA damages and most responsible for biological effects of ionizing radiation. Therefore, the elucidation of the molecular mechanism how DSBs are recognized and repaired and how bio-protective responses, such as checkpoints and apoptosis, are activated is one of the central problems in radiation biology. This workshop will introduce recent advances and discuss still unsolved or newly emerged problems, extensively focusing on DSBs.
