<em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> as a Model of Gastrointestinal Radiation Injury Studies: Conserved Mechanisms, Experimental Approaches, and Countermeasure Discovery
2026-08-06
Abstract excerpt
The gastrointestinal tract is a critical system in acute radiation exposure. Severe radiation exposures can deplete epithelial stem and progenitor cells, compromise barrier integrity, alter host-microbe interactions, and drive fluid loss, inflammation, and systemic decline. Mammalian models remain essential for clinical translation, but their cost and complexity constrain sample sizes, statistical power, large-sca...
