Localized intestinal radiation and liquid diet enhance survival and permit evaluation of long-term intestinal responses to high dose radiation in mice

In brief

This study describes a novel murine model using localized intestinal radiation combined with liquid diet to enable survival after high-dose radiation exposure. The method allows investigation of intestinal stem cell loss, crypt regeneration, and long-term epithelial repair mechanisms that would otherwise be lethal.
