Long-Term Follow-up of the Delayed Effects of Acute Radiation Exposure in Primates

Abstract

The overarching goal of this program is to explore our recent clinically relevant observations of DEARE in a unique cohort of non-human primates (NHP), termed the Radiation Survivor Cohort (RSC). This work consists of 4 projects: 1. Studies of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); 2. Radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD); 3. Chronic immune impairment with restriction of the antigenic response repertoire; and 4. Genomic and transcriptomic studies of the molecular pathogenesis of T2DM, RIHD, and immune impairment in the context of DEARE.
