Application of stem cells in enhancing radiation resistance

The application of stem cells in enhancing radiation resistance represents a significant breakthrough in biomedical research. Radiation resistance refers to an organism's ability to withstand ionizing radiation damage. Studies reveal that certain adult stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells exhibit remarkable radioresistance through multiple mechanisms including DNA repair activation, free radical scavenging, and protective cytokine secretion. Clinically, transplanting radiation-resistant stem cells has shown promise in improving tissue recovery for radiotherapy patients. In aerospace medicine, this technology may protect astronauts from space radiation. Recent experiments demonstrate that gene-editing can further enhance stem cells' radioprotective properties, opening new avenues for cancer treatment and radiation protection.
