Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After a nuclear device detonation or accident There are approximately 40% of radiation casualty that are combined radiation injury (CI) with wound, burn, hemorrhage, blast, infection, fracture, etc. CI results in more severe organ injuries and greater mortality, along with aggravated cytokine storm and worse systemic infection compared to the radiation alone. Because of this complexity resulted from CI, no FDA-approved drugs or remedies available for preventing, mitigating or treating CI. This special issue will include articles with research on CI with animal models, biomarkers, molecular mechanisms, acute radiation syndrome, drug development for survival, organ injury, data management, bioinformatic analysis, etc.
