BACKGROUND/AIM
Use of zebrafish models may decrease the cost of screening new irradiation protectors and mitigators.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) models were tested for screening water-soluble radiation protectors and mitigators. Irradiation of embryos and monitoring survival, and measuring fibrosis of the caudal musculature of adults allowed for testing of acute and late eff...
