From the previously mentioned study: "It was found that 2-week C(60)(OH)(24) pretreatment effectively reduced whole body irradiation-induced mortality without apparent toxicity." Am I reading that wrong? That seems to say that mice that got the pretreatment with C60 were less likely to die of radiation poisoning than controls and there was no observed toxicity. That's a pretty astonishing result. This study even has several further studies that cite it, so it seems that there's some followup going on.
