Clinical consequences of relative biological effectiveness variations in proton radiotherapy of the prostate, brain and liver [PDF]
, 2013 Proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is known to depend on the (alpha/beta)(x) of irradiated tissues, with evidence of similar to 60% variation over (alpha/beta)(x) values from 1-10 Gy.

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.

Proton beam therapy in Europe: more centres need more research
British Journal of Cancer, 2018 Proton beam therapy was applied for the first time in Europe over half a century ago by Börje Larsson, who, in 1957, used the cyclotron of the Gustaf Werner Institute in Uppsala, Sweden, to target a cervical cancer with a high-energy beam of protons ...
