abstract = {Without the protective shielding of Earth's atmosphere,
astronauts face higher doses of ionizing radiation in space,
causing serious health concerns. Highly charged and high
energy (HZE) particles are particularly effective in causing
complex and difficult-to-repair DNA double-strand breaks
compared to low linear energy transfer. Additionally,
chronic cortisol exposure during spaceflight raises further
concerns, although its specific impact on DNA damage and
repair remains unknown. This study explorers the effect of
different radiation qualities (photons, protons, carbon, and
iron ions) on the DNA damage and repair of
cortisol-conditioned primary human dermal fibroblasts.
Besides, we introduce a new measure, the Foci-Integrated
Damage Complexity Score (FIDCS), to assess DNA damage
complexity by analyzing focus area and fluorescent
intensity. Our results show that the FIDCS captured the DNA
damage induced by different radiation qualities better than
counting the number of foci, as traditionally done. Besides,
using this measure, we were able to identify differences in
DNA damage between cortisol-exposed cells and controls. This
suggests that, besides measuring the total number of foci,
considering the complexity of the DNA damage by means of the
FIDCS can provide additional and, in our case, improved
information when comparing different radiation qualities.},
