Tiny animal transmits radiation damage to offspring, repairs over generations

Scientists report a small animal species can pass radiation-induced genetic damage to offspring and subsequently repair it across generations, a mechanism never documented before. The claim is based on a single study, and the species is not named in the source. This challenges conventional understanding of heritable damage and could have implications for radiobiology and evolutionary biology.
