title: [Current problems of neutron radiobiology].
abstract: A brief review of up-date problems of neutron radiobiology, related to neutron therapy development and setting up of radiation safety standards for neutrons, is present. The main attention is paid to the effects of combined gamma-neutron irradiation, peculiarities of reactor neutrons biological action and new approaches in neutron capture therapy. On the basis of own and literature data the results of cellular and whole-body studies as well as the applicability of biophysical modelling for description and interpretation of experimental data are discussed.
