Murat Alp and Frank Cucinotta (both ) are co-authors of “Irradiation of Neurons with High-Energy Charged Particles: An In Silico Modeling Approach,” which outlines the use of a stochastic computational model to study damage of irradiated neuronal cells. The study addresses the physico-chemical and patho-physiological pathways of cell injury caused by ionizing energy similar to radiation treatments in cancer therapy as well as cosmic ray exposure to astronauts during space travel. The appeared in the Aug. 7 issue of PLOS Computational Biology.
