Aim of MUSCLE Project
To understand the biological effects of environmental radiation

Peculiar low dose radiation effects (<100mGy)
Phenomenon in which unirradiated cells exhibit irradiated effects as a result of signals received from nearby irradiated cells.
Bystander effect

Genomic instabilityPhenomenon characterized by an increase in the genetic spontaneous alteration observed in cells which have not themselves been irradiated, but are the progeny of an irradiated cell.
Peculiar low dose radiation effects (<100mGy)

Peculiar low dose radiation effects (<100mGy)
Adaptive reponsePhenomenon that occurs when a low dose of mutagenic agent can protect from the biological damage of a subsequent high dose of the same or different mutagenica agents

Our Hypothesis
Life has evolved on Earth for 3 bilion years in the presence of environmental ionizing radiation. All organism have therefore incorporated in their normal biology a daily stiimulus of ultra-low-dose environmental radiation that might act as conditioning agent.

…Summarizing…
Compatible with our hypothesis of environmental radiation as a conditioning agent, reduced environmental radiation conditions seem to render cells, after several months of protracted culture:
Less tolerant to radiation-induced DNA damage
Less efficient in scavenging reactive oxygen species
