Direct & Indirect Radiation Damage
Description
This template compares direct and indirect DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation striking a tumor. Direct damage occurs when radiation breaks the DNA strand itself, while indirect damage occurs when radiation generates free radicals such as hydroxyl and superoxide from water molecules that then damage DNA, with both pathways leading to cell death.
