Analysis of geometric factors for an X-ray fluorescence analyzer designed via the Monte Carlo method

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
This paper presents a theoretical study on the design of an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. The relative geometric positions of the analyzer’s source, detector and specimen are emphasized, which impacts the analyte’s characteristic X-ray fluorescence ...

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

Self-transformation of solid CaCO3 microspheres into core-shell and hollow hierarchical structures revealed by coherent X-ray diffraction imaging

IUCrJ, 2022
The self-transformation of solid microspheres into complex core-shell and hollow architectures cannot be explained by classical Ostwald ripening alone.

Circulating tumor cell viability during and after radiotherapy mirrors treatment response in cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Radiotherapy (RT) response depends on the DNA repair capacity of tumor and host cells. We show that circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts and apoptosis rates before and after RT predict treatment response and outcome, which can be accessed via easily accessible liquid biopsy approaches. Created in BioRender. Wikman, H.

X-Ray Fluorescence Computed Tomography With Polycapillary Focusing

IEEE Access, 2014
Liposomal iodine nanoparticles (LINPs) have a long half-life and provide an excellent intravascular contrast. The nanoparticles can be functionalized as molecular probes for biological targets to facilitate numerous preclinical studies for translation ...

Loss of IGF‐1R impairs DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin leading to defective end‐joining

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
IGF‐1R promotes radioresistance by facilitating DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin, enabling non‐homologous end‐joining (NHEJ) repair of double‐strand breaks. Inhibition or loss of IGF‐1R disrupts this recruitment to damage sites, driving compensatory reliance on microhomology‐mediated end‐joining (MMEJ) repair.

X-ray fluorescence microscopy exposure estimates using a single excitation energy

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation
Scanning fluorescence X-ray microscopy is widely used for quantitative mapping of elemental concentrations, including in studies of essential but low-concentration metals in cells, tissues, and organs. Practical studies often use a single incident photon

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have

The origin and chronology of medieval silver coins based on the analysis of chemical composition

Nukleonika, 2015
Medieval Central Europe coins - the Saxon coins, also called as the Otto and Adelheid denarii, as well as the Polish ones, the Władysław Herman and Bolesław Śmiały coins - were examined to determine their provenance and dating.

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...
