Gamma radiation triggers synthesis of tropomyosin and actin in salivary gland cells of <i>Chironomus ramosus</i>
This study provides compelling evidence that tropomyosin and actin stress fibers are overexpressed in <i>C. ramosus</i> larvae following gamma radiation exposure, suggesting a crucial role for cytoskeletal remodeling in radiation-induced adaptive responses.
