Some might be in action soon. For example, it seems that cancer stem cells are less vulnerable to radiation than other cancer cells, because their DNA-repair mechanisms are better.
Deinococcus radiodurans, as a model organism in DNA damage and repair, is the most resistant bacterium to ionizing radiation.
耐辐射奇球菌作为 DNA 损伤和修复的典范生物，是对电离辐射最有抵抗力的细菌。

To figure out why, the researchers analyzed which genes were being transcribed more as resistance developed, and identified several that are involved in DNArepair pathways.
