It has been well established that the bone marrow (BM) is a radiosensitive tissue, but the radiosensitivity of the heart is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the comparative effects of28Silicon (28Si) ions (one type of heavy ion found in space) on tissue from the heart and the BM of...
