Advances in research on layered double hydroxides for biomedical applications

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are pH‐responsive nanomaterials with broad biomedical applications. This review summarizes LDH synthesis methods and compares their advantages. It highlights LDHs' progress in cancer therapy, including chemo‐photothermal, chemo‐immunotherapy, and photodynamic‐immunotherapy combinations and their potential in bone repair.

Integrated Alpha–Gamma Radiation Exposure From Natural Radionuclides in Cement and Gypsum Production: Implications for Occupational Lung Cancer Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural radionuclides in cement and gypsum production materials pose significant risks of occupational radiation exposure that are not well documented in Iraqi Kurdistan. This study quantifies alpha and gamma radiation levels from naturally occurring radioactive materials, specifically 222Rn, 238U, 232Th, and 40K, in cement and gypsum samples ...

The Anthropocene and the End of Nuclear Disaster: Normalizing the Fukushima Nuclear Accident

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article places the concept of disaster in critical dialogue with that of the Anthropocene, which introduces new imaginaries that negatively affect the governance of crises like nuclear accidents. I argue that tropes surrounding the Anthropocene can depict certain events as apocalyptic calamities while also portraying other events as mere “

Characteristics of exposure to radioactive iodine during a nuclear incident

Radiology and Oncology
During a nuclear accident, numerous products of nuclear fission are released, including isotopes of radioactive iodine. Among them is iodine-131, with a half-life of 8.02 days, which emits β radiation. For decades, it has been effectively and safely used

A guide to studying tumour‐T‐cell interactions using in vitro coculture assays

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In vitro tumour‐T‐cell coculture systems provide a controlled way to study how T cells recognise and kill tumour cells. Different tumour models can be combined with antigen‐specific TCR or CAR T cells, while antigen presentation, cytokines, drugs and tumour genetics can be manipulated.
