Article Synopsis
- New strategies are being developed to prevent radiation injuries by creating nontoxic, globally effective drugs.
- Various classes of pharmacologics are being explored, including immunomodulators like 5-androstenediol, antioxidants like vitamin E, and engineered cytokines.
- The goal is to establish a new approach that combines these preventative agents with postexposure treatments to enhance recovery and protection against radiation effects.
Low-level radiation exposures are expected to have long-term health implications but few near-term effects that would impair function. These assumptions are based on extrapolation from acute exposure responses, not on studies of a larger array of exposure scenarios (e.g.
