How I know many Russian microbiology's institutions and laboratories working with derivatives from E.Coli and different intestinal microbes and already many years. How I can see in a scientific press- a lot of articles published and patents registered. Many scientists and scientific groups registered some radioprotective action. But nothing special. It is interesting results. Is it effective for different forms of Acute Radiation Syndromes? For Cerebrovascular ARS ? For Cardiovascular ARS? Or this drug working only at Gastro-intestinal form of ARS? How this drug working at Hematopoietic form of ARS?

Wow - if the anti- radiation sickness drug works on humans, it would be huge, reducing one big peril of spaceflight and space colonization. If we can next get a reasonably reliable cure for radiation induced cancer, humans could hope to live and work in space. Since they've figure out how to turn off the suicide mechanism, maybe they can also enhance it to make cancer cells targeted by radiation therapy more susceptible?

Of course, such progress has the flip side of making nuclear war somewhat less "unthinkable".
