Avasopasem manganese acts as both a radioprotector and a radiomitigator of radiation-induced acute or late effects [PDF]
Introduction The pentaazamacrocyclic superoxide dismutase mimetic, Avasopasem Manganese (AVA), has been shown in clinical trials to reduce the severity and duration of acute oral mucositis (OM) and acute esophagitis in patients treated for head and neck and lung cancers, respectively, by radiotherapy using ...

Echocardiography Differentiates Lethally Irradiated Whole-Body From Partial-Body Exposed Rats [PDF]
Background: Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) affects morbidity and mortality dependent on the amount of body exposed. We propose the use of echocardiography (EC) to differentiate between survivors and non-survivors by measuring changes in cardiac function (

Radioprotective and Radiomitigative Effects of Melatonin in Tissues with Different Proliferative Activity [PDF]
We used various markers to analyze damage to mouse tissues (spleen and cerebral cortex) which have different proliferative activity and sensitivity to ionizing radiation (IR). We also assessed the degree of modulation of damages that occurs when melatonin is administered to mice prior to and after their X-ray irradiation.

Delivery of a mitochondria‐targeted antioxidant from biocompatible, polymeric nanofibrous scaffolds
Using electrospinning, we fabricated a biocompatible nanofibrous scaffold with mitochondrial antioxidant JP4‐039. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy tracked an initial burst release of JP4‐039 within the first 20 min followed by a sustained release over 72 h.
