Gut microbiota and microbiota-derived metabolites in radiation-induced injury: mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities

Radiation-induced injury is a complex pathological process involving DNA damage, oxidative stress, inflammatory amplification, epithelial barrier disruption, immune dysregulation, metabolic remodeling, and impaired tissue repair. Accumulating evidence indicates that the gut microbiota is not merely altered by irradiati...
