Nanodiamond Quantum Sensors for Probing Free Radical Biology

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Free radicals play key roles in cellular signaling and disease but remain difficult to measure in living systems. Nanodiamonds (NDs) with nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers enable quantum sensing of local magnetic noise via T₁ relaxometry, providing nondestructive radical detection in living cells.

Sub-second pencil beam dose calculation on GPU for adaptive proton therapy [PDF]

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2015
Although proton therapy delivered using scanned pencil beams has the potential to produce better dose conformity than conventional radiotherapy, the created dose distributions are more sensitive to anatomical changes and patient motion. Therefore, the introduction of adaptive treatment techniques where the dose can be monitored as it is being delivered

Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy Adaptive Planning for Patients with Oropharyngeal Cancer

International Journal of Particle Therapy, 2017
The authors aimed to illustrate the potential dose differences to clinical target volumes (CTVs) and organs-at-risk (OARs) volumes after proton adaptive treatment planning was used.The records of 10 patients with oropharyngeal cancer were retrospectively reviewed.

Daily adaptive proton therapy: challenges and clinical potential

, 2020
With proton therapy, highly conformal dose can be applied to the tumor while sparing the surrounding organs at risk. Protons are however sensitive to density changes in the beam path: If the patient anatomy is changing, the resulting dose is distorted. To restore the initial plan quality, the plan has to be adapted. In this thesis, the concept of daily

Design and Synthesis of Peptide‐Polyester Conjugates for Cell‐Mediated Scaffold Degradation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work describes polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based biomaterials engineered to degrade in response to cell‐secreted proteases. A fast‐degrading peptide (Fast) sequence is integrated into a PCL conjugate backbone to produce a biomaterial that is selectively degraded by multiple cell types compared to its scrambled control (ScrFast).
