Radiosensitisation and radioprotection by BSO and WR-2721: the role of oxygenation.

Endogenous and exogenous thiols are thought to influence cellular radiosensitivity directly by radical scavenging and/or hydrogen donation processes, and indirectly, by regulating the amount of oxygen (or other electron affinic radiosensitiser) able to reach the radiosensitive targets of the cell. T...
