Abstrakt: Radiation induces DNA and protein damage and free radical formation, effectively establishing cellular senescence in a variety of models. We demonstrate the effects of two known pleiotropic drugs following gamma radiation damage in neurosphere/cerebral organoid system based on human embryonic stem cells. mTORC1 repression by rapamycin prior to irradiation, or metabolic activation by minocycline after irradiation, partially rescues neuroepithelium integrity, neurite-growing capacity, ventricle formation and extracellular acidification rate as an integral measure of metabolic output. Cerebral organoid model thus provides valid and robust readouts for radiation studies in a complex 3D setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
