A Simulation Study of the Radiation-Induced Bystander Effect: Modeling with Stochastically Defined Signal Reemission

Figure 1

An example of the spatial distribution of cells in the simulation. The star is the position of the irradiated cell. Open circles represent the cells that remained to form healthy colonies, while filled circles are cells damaged by bystander responses. Dashed lines are for illustrative purposes only. Here, the number of original signals is 25, while the mean number of reemission signals is 1.5.
