Tumour Therapy with Particle Beams [PDF]

, 2000
Photons are exponentially attenuated in matter producing high doses close to the surface. Therefore they are not well suited for the treatment of deep seated tumours. Charged particles, in contrast, exhibit a sharp increase of ionisation density close to

Navigating the Ethereal Tightrope: The Nanogenerator Manipulates Neurons for Immune Equilibrium

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
This review explores how nanogenerators modulate neuroimmune responses, offering innovative strategies for treating neurological disorders. By interfacing with neural pathways, they enable precise control of immune activity, especially via vagus nerve stimulation.

L-DOPA preloading increases the uptake of borophenylalanine in C6 glioma rat model: a new strategy to improve BNCT efficacy. [PDF]

, 2008
Purpose: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a radiotherapeutic modality based on 10B(n,a)7Li reaction, for the treatment of malignant gliomas. One of the main limitations for BNCT effectiveness is the insufficient intake of 10B nuclei in the tumor ...

Next‐Generation Electron Linear Accelerators for Compact Accelerator‐Driven Neutron Sources

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
High‐gradient electron linear accelerators (linacs) enable cost‐effective, high‐performance compact accelerator‐driven neutron sources (CANSs) for industrial applications. Comparing with existing CANS, we show that high‐gradient linacs open a previously unexplored region of the CANS landscape, enabling accessible stress diffractometry with competitive ...
