High-Dose Ionizing Radiation Impairs Healthy Dendrite Growth in C. elegans

Purpose: The nervous system is vulnerable to radiation damage, and further optimization is required to increase the efficacy of radiation therapy while reducing harm to neurons. Given recent developments in heavy ion therapy, experimental models would be valuable to improve these therapies. We used...
