Centers for Medical Countermeasures against Radiation Consortium: Past, Present, and Beyond.

ABSTRACT: The Centers for Medical Countermeasures against Radiation Consortium (CMCRC) has provided a strong research foundation for the radiobiology science that will follow. After 20 years, however, the CMCRC will continue to conduct research on preparedness in niche areas of radiobiology and advanced product development, many of which were initiated by the CMCRC. This manuscript offers a review of past and current strategies and advancements in medical countermeasures to address radiation injuries, carried out by the CMCRC and funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program. It also explores the mechanisms of radiation-induced injuries, discusses existing medical countermeasures, and highlights emerging technologies and potential f
