"Allow me to show my ignorance"

I guess I did, didn't I? Apologies for the suggestion that you were exhibiting a bias.

I was thrown a bit by the appearance of the "/" in this quote:
"four clinical stage radioprotectors/chemoprotectors, amifostine, palifermin, GC4419 and RRx-001".

The title ("A Review of Clinical Radioprotection and Chemoprotection for Oral Mucositis") suggested to me that they were two different things. Plenty Paranoid mentioned that "Palifermin is not an actual radioprotective, but it is the only FDA approved drug for oral mucositis and probably serves as reference for the others."
I said to you "Allow me to show my ignorance by asking if Palifermin provides Radioprotection." You responded "Yes, as can be seen in the abstract." (as if I could follow the abstract).

Based on PP's comment it seems that Brilacidin could have been in the mix on the same basis...as a frame of reference....especially given its use on head and neck cancers, while Palifermin has not been approved for use in head and neck cancers.

Hope you enjoyed your movie.

But can it core A apple?
Yes Ralph, of course it can core A apple.
