we've heard more about the potential health benefits of so-called probiotics. And now Washington University researchers have found that one probiotic appears to protect the small intestine from radiation damage. Intestinal damage can be a problem for patients receiving radiation therapy for abdominal c...
Interestingly, Wnt3a and active β-catenin protein levels were increased in the small intestines of MSC-treated mice. In addition, intravenous delivery of recombinant mouse Wnt3a after radiation reduced damage in the small intestine and was radioprotective, although not to the same degree as MSC ...
p53FL/−mice displayed significantly higher concentrations of Dextran-FITC in the serum compared to unirradiated mice and irradiatedVillinCre; p53FL/+mice (Fig.5g). Collectively, our results demonstrate that the p53-dependent response to acute DNA damage is necessary to protect mice from radiation...
“Our Radioactive Ocean” is ‘fake news’. Its a website totally devoted to downplaying the effects of radiation. They pretend that manmade radiation is EQUAL to natural radiation in terms of damage/dose. I still eat fish, if at least the label implies not from the Pacific. ...
Radiation therapy is the most widely used treatment for cancer, but it causes the side effect of mucositis due to intestinal damage. We examined the protective effect of genistein in tumor-bearing mice after abdominal irradiation by evaluation of apoptosis and intestinal morphological changes. Methods...
External irradiation—when all or a portion of the body is exposed to penetrating gamma radiation from an external source. Significant cellular damage can occur. Following exposure, the patient is not radioactive and can be managed like any other patient with no threat to staff, such as a pati...

Credit: Fernández-Gil et al (2017) Oral melatonin can protect the small intestine in rats subjected to radiotherapy of the tongue, according to ...
Its damage to cell DNA kills cancer cells. It affects cancer cells more than normal ones. But, side effects from the death of healthy cells are common. Early recognition and management care can help prevent long-term issues. Radiation therapy in the chest may cause pleural effusions. This ...
