Delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE), including radiation pneumonitis (lung-DEARE), develop weeks to months after radiation exposure. Pathway-targeted biomarkers that capture early oxidative stress and cell death could improve risk stratification and provide objective measures of mitigator efficacy. The objective was to test whether molecular lung imaging predicts long-term surviva…
Something remarkable in radioprotective treatments comes from an unlikely source—frog skin. Researchers led by Professor Shuyu Zhang from Sichuan University, Professor Jie Zhang from Fourth Military Medical University, Professor Jianping Cao from Soochow University and colleagues have identified a substance derived from the skin of frogs that offers substantial protection against radiation-induce…
