title: Responses of normal cells to ionizing radiation.
abstract: Radiation-induced alterations in cellular tissue homeostasis triggered by various molecular responses at the level of inter- and intracellular signaling processes cause both acute and late effects in normal tissue after radiation therapy. Some of the underlying molecular and cellular response pathways leading to radiation-induced tissue remodeling will be discussed, with special emphasis on vascular and parenchymal tissues.
