The risk of basal and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin cancer incidence and external radiation in the updated National Registry for radiation workers cohort in the UK

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 3, Page 574-586, 1 February 2026.
What's new? While ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the main risk factor for non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), additional factors contribute to NMSC development. The present study examined the impact of occupational radiation exposure on NMSC risk among radiation workers in the United Kingdom.

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 12, Page 3197-3229, December 2025.
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.

Global Terrorism and Nuclear Proliferation after 9/11 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Arguably, the more likely route by which terrorists might gain access to nuclear or other WMD capabilities is not through the possible collaboration between ‘rogue states’ and terrorist groups but through theft from improperly-secured sites in countries ...

Optimized Monothiol Thioredoxin Derivative (ORP100S) Protects In Vitro and In Vivo from Radiation and Chemotoxicity Without Promoting Tumor Proliferation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 42, November 13, 2025.
Native thioredoxin‐1 (TRX) stimulates proliferation and rescues stem cells and cancer cells from multiple stressors by suppressing p53 and inhibiting ferroptosis via GPX4/SLC7A11 upregulation mediated by enhanced KLF4 expression and p53 promoter binding.

Exposed weapons: A revised reconstruction of the facial anatomy and life appearance of the saber‐toothed cat Megantereon (Felidae, Machairodontinae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2924-2943, November 2025.
Abstract Megantereon was a widespread saber‐toothed felid from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of the Old World and North America, but its rarity in the fossil record makes it complicated to restore its life appearance. Lack of complete specimens makes it necessary to combine information from fossils of different individuals to reconstruct their facial ...

Why Forensic Pathologists Maintain Uncertainty in Reporting Causes of Death: How Communicative Uncertainty Devices Shape Reasoning

open access: yesSociology of Health &Illness, Volume 47, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how forensic pathologists in Sweden understand and reason around how to communicate the un/certainty of cause of death, given their position to other actors. The paper explores uncertainty work related to the understanding and reasoning on how to use a degree of certainty scale.
