Table 1. Cytogenetic analysis did not reveal any difference between non-irradiated and THz-irradiated human embryonic stem cells.

    Number per 100 cells, ±SEMa (absolute number)
Treatment Number of cells scored Cells with aberrations Chromosome-type aberrations Chromatid-type aberrations
THz beam, repeats 1 and 2 475 2.3 ± 0.7 (11b) 0.6 ± 0.4 (3) 2.1 ± 0.7 (10)
Control, repeats 1 and 2 430 2.1 ± 0.7 (9b) 0.2 (1) 2.3 ± 0.7 (10)

a - SEM, standard error of the mean; THz, terahertz.

b – some cells contained more than one aberration, and the number of cells with aberrations was not equal to the sum of chromosomal aberrations.
