Does radiation kill the immune cells or help them function better?

Radiation can have both suppressive and stimulatory effects on the immune system. In high doses, radiation can damage or kill immune cells, leading to immune suppression. However, at lower doses, radiation can actually stimulate the immune response by promoting the release of immune-stimulating molecules and activating immune cells. The overall impact on immune function depends on the dose, duration, and tissues/organs exposed to radiation.
