title: [The effect of taurine as a protector of human marrow cells against radiation].
abstract: Chromosome fragmentation counts on irradiated human marrow cells were used to determine the radioprotective effect of taurine. The results were unifavourable in the sense that the number of fragmentations observed in cultures to which taurine had been added was only slightly less than that in the control cultures.
