Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 The fundamental basis in the development of novel radiotherapy methods is in-vitro cellular studies. To assess different endpoints of cellular reactions to irradiation like proliferation, cell cycle arrest, and cell death, several assays are used in ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 1982 Interpretations of radiation effects frequently call upon the word 'threshold'. The authors explore the meaning of this word, its relationship to the fundamental character of radiation effects, and its influence on perception. Although the existence of either a dose or an LET threshold can never be settled by experimental radiobiological investigations,

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.Abstract This paper examines how an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) expert mission for technical assistance in the late 1950s to Greece was effectively transformed into a mission to achieve the IAEA′s central objective: to consolidate its position as the leading global authority on radiation protection. The study focuses on the work of Alfred

The radiobiology of HPV-positive and HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Expert Reviews in Molecular Medicine, 2020 Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with reported incidences of ~800 000 cases each year. One of the critical determinants in patient response to radiotherapy, particularly for oropharyngeal cancers ...

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract At the 2024 ISMRM Annual Meeting in Singapore, a member‐initiated session on MRI for biology‐guided radiation therapy (RT), endorsed by the ISMRM MR in RT Study Group, was successfully organized. The session convened a diverse group of global experts in quantitative MRI for RT, who presented the latest research on the technical development and

, 2023 AbstractThis chapter aims to contribute to a comprehensive view of environmental radiobiology and discuss the effects of different kinds of ionizing radiation on ecosystems. The impact of ionizing radiation was considered on both organisms and the abiotic environment, assessing the fate of radionuclides in abiotic compartments (e.g., the movement ...
