Effects of Desiccation and Freezing on Microbial Ionizing Radiation Survivability: Considerations for Mars Sample Return Open
Increasingly, national space agencies are expanding their goals to include Mars exploration with sample return. To better protect Earth and its biosphere from potential extraterrestrial sources of contamination, as set forth in the Outer S…

Small-Molecule Mn Antioxidants in Caenorhabditis elegans and Deinococcus radiodurans Supplant MnSOD Enzymes during Aging and Irradiation Open
The current theory of cellular defense against oxidative damage identifies antioxidant enzymes as primary defenders against ROS, with MnSOD being the preeminent superoxide (O 2 •− ) scavenger. However, MnSOD is shown to be dispensable both…

Chronic gamma radiation resistance in fungi correlates with resistance to chromium and elevated temperatures, but not with resistance to acute irradiation Open
Exposure to chronic ionizing radiation (CIR) from nuclear power plant accidents, acts of terrorism, and space exploration poses serious threats to humans. Fungi are a group of highly radiation-resistant eukaryotes, and an understanding of …

Across the tree of life, radiation resistance is governed by antioxidant Mn <sup>2+</sup> , gauged by paramagnetic resonance Open
Significance Decades of functional genomic efforts have failed to predict the ability of cells to survive ionizing radiation (IR). Evidence is mounting that small high-symmetry antioxidant complexes of manganous ions with metabolites (H-Mn…
