MSI-1-mediated modulation of radiation resistance observed in the present study is in line with previous findings in glioblastoma (Lin et al. 2018), colon cancer (Sureban et al. 2008), and our previous findings in MDA-MB-231 TNBC cells (Troschel et al. 2020). The gene discussed is MSI1; the disease is malignant colon neoplasm.
