Organoids in pediatric cancer research
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Low dose radiation, inflammation, cancer and chemoprevention [PDF]
Recently, new studies have brought to light the potential risks of low dose radiation (LDR) in cancer. In this review, we discuss in detail the detrimental effects of LDR in some model organisms and animal models, as well as potential risks to human beings from some routine medical screening procedures.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Low Dose Radiation Adaptive Protection to Control Neurodegenerative Diseases
Concerns have been expressed recently regarding the observed increased DNA damage from activities such as thinking and exercise. Such concerns have arisen from an incomplete accounting of the full effects of the increased oxidative damage.

Low-dose radiation cancer susceptibility models
While the biological effects of low-dose radiation exposure are increasingly better understood, continued research is needed to develop better individual risk-based models. Human population exposures to low doses of ionizing radiation (defined by the US Department of Energy as less than 10 rem or 0.1 Sv) are increasing due to occupational exposures of ...
