Tardigrade Protein Protects Healthy Cells from Radiation Damage
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the University of Iowa have developed a strategy that could help mitigate radiation-induced damage by harnessing a unique protein found in tardigrades, microscopic organisms renowned for their resilience. Their study entitled, “Radioprotection of healthy tissue via nanoparticle-delivered mRNA encoding for a damage-suppressor protein … Read more
