title: Radio-immunological mechanisms of anti-inflammatory treatment: is there a way from the past into the future?
abstract: The anti-inflammatory efficiency of low-dose radiotherapy (LD-RT) for degenerative joint disorders was demonstrated over decades but had no explanation on a cellular or molecular level. As inflammatory diseases are the results of complex and pathologically unbalanced cellular and molecular interactions more recent in-vivo and in-vitro data will be discussed for possible explanation of the mechanism underlying ant-inflammatory LD-RT.2.
