Exosome educated monocytes for acute radiation syndrome
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Finding novel therapies for treatment of radiation-induced toxicities is of value to not only patients who are receiving radiotherapy for different conditions, but also to national security due to risk of terrorism attacks. There is urgent need to develop therapies than can be administered quickly after exposure to minimize the effects of radiation and enhance immune recovery. Preclinical models have informed a great deal of our current clinical practice in managing acute radiation syndrome (ARS). These models can be used to test and develop new cellular therapies. Choosing the proper cell subset, engineering it to produce the necessary cytokines, and understanding…
