Fibroblasts from bank voles inhabiting Chernobyl have increased resistance against oxidative and DNA stresses

Abstract Background Elevated levels of environmental ionizing radiation can be a selective pressure for wildlife by producing reactive oxygen species and DNA damage. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that are affected are not known. Results We isolated skin fibroblasts from bank voles (My...
