Pharmacologically blocking p53-dependent apoptosis protects intestinal stem cells and mice from radiation. [PDF]
Exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation (IR) leads to debilitating and dose-limiting gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity. Using three-dimensional mouse crypt culture, we demonstrated that p53 target PUMA mediates radiation-induced apoptosis via a cell ...
