Chernobyl bank vole fibroblasts recover faster after irradiation than control cell lines. The fibroblast cell lines isolated from Chernobyl bank voles (pink) were able to reach 100% confluency, on average, 2 days faster than the control cell lines (grey) after 10 Gy irradiation. “The delay of recovery” represents how many days longer an irradiated cell line took to cover the plate than the corresponding non-irradiated cell line. The figure shows results from three separate experiments using eight Chernobyl (N = 24) and eight control (N = 24) cell lines. In the box blot the box presents the lower and upper quartiles, median is indicated by a line, whiskers show values within 1.5 interquartile range from the boxed values, and circles are outliers (R version 3.3.3)
