Damage foci longevities in live cells and simulations.

<p>(A) Longevities of foci recorded in unstressed MRC5 cells and the unstressed D-NHEJ and B-NHEJ model simulations. (B)Longevities of foci recorded in unstressed MRC5 cells and the stressed D-NHEJ and B-NHEJ model simulations with ROS production increased 2.5 times. Simulated data shows no change other than an increase in the number of breaks produced. (C) Survival curves of short lived foci (8 hours and less) for resting and stressed MRC5 cells (dotted lines) and resting and stressed simulated data (solid lines).
