Radiation tolerance and bystander effects in the eutardigrade species Hypsibius dujardini (Parachaela: Hypsibiidae)
Abstract
Some tardigrade species can tolerate high radiation doses. Radiation-induced bystander effects - damage in unirradiated cells associated with irradiated cells - have yet to be reported in tardigrades. We investigated radiation tolerance and radiation-induced bystander effects on long-term survival in the eutardigrade species Hypsibius dujardini. To study direct radiation effects, groups were irradiated with gamma radiation at levels of 3 and 5 …
