While radiation may not be the direct cause of the genetic mutations, many other toxins—including heavy metals, lead powder, pesticides, and asbestos—have entered the environment due to ...

Spaceflight may place astronauts at increased risk for developing mutations that can lead to cancer and heart disease, according to a study published in Nature Communications Biology.“Deep-space ...

Women with breast cancer who carry the BRCA 1 or 2 genetic mutations might not have to fear having radiation therapy as previously thought. A new study finds such women may get the same recurrence ...

Radiation-induced mutations may not be the reason for the genetic differences between dog populations living near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, according to a new study. The study, published ...

These mutations can lead to cancers and death, malformed offspring, or, in rare cases, non-harmful mutations that get passed onto the next generation. This is a form of radiation-driven evolution.

Radiation-induced mutation is unlikely to have induced genetic differences between dog populations in Chornobyl City and the nearby Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
