Every 2-3 years Radiosynthesys comes to the surface in science journalism. So far no one has come up with an explanation how it could work or if it could work.

They best they got is, some kind of melanin response to radioactivity, which would make sense as a protection mechanism.

seems like if radiation kills any cells, remnants become reusable by other cells. only strong survive to replicate.
