Conserved features of radiation response across plants and animals facilitate the identification of a panel of ionizing radiation-responsive genes for human biodosimetry

Key Points

• The aim is to identify genes responsive to ionizing radiation that can serve as biomarkers for human exposure assessment.
• Identified a panel of human genes responsive to ionizing radiation.
• Developed dose reconstruction models for radiation exposure assessment.
• Presented a new strategy for human ionizing radiation biomarkers.
• Showed potential applications in dose estimation during radiological emergencies.
