Abstract

intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and promoted cell regeneration after IR, which indicated that the regeneration ability of ISCs was maintained and the repair of intestinal structure and function was promoted. Finally, PDA-NPs significantly suppressed the apoptosis, inflammatory pyroptosis and DNA damage of intestinal cells induced by ionizing radiation. Altogether, our study suggested that PDA-NPs may have great potential in protecting the intestines from ionizing radiation damage.
