Article Synopsis
- - Oncolytic viruses, like herpes simplex virus (HSV), are promising for cancer treatment because they can specifically target and destroy cancer cells without harming normal cells and have a good safety record.
- - Researchers developed a new oncolytic HSV-1 (∆6/GM/IL12) that co-expresses interleukin-12 (IL-12) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which showed enhanced tumor control and improved survival in a mouse model of melanoma compared to other treatments.
- - The combination of IL-12 and GM-CSF from the engineered HSV led to increased activation of immune cells (like CD4 and CD8 T cells) and a stronger immune response
Purpose: The authors aim was to investigate the effects of using transmission and reflection scanning modes, the film orientation during scanning, and ambient room light on a dosimetry system based on the Gafchromic(TM) EBT2 film model.
Methods: For calibration, the films were cut to 3 × 3 cm(2) and irradiated from 20 to 700 cGy at the depth of maximum dose using 6 and 10 MV photon beams in a 10 × 10 cm(2) field size. Absolute dose calibration of the linear accelerator was done according to the TRS398 protocol.
Background: As worldwide interest in healthy and delicious meat analogues increases, the texture of these products has become an important indicator of quality. Mycoprotein as fungal mycelium could provide a distinctive chewing sensation; however, the unfavorable consumer perception of fungal mycelium demands the production of meat analogues with true mushroom mycelium.
Results: The industrial and economical bioprocess was developed using an inexpensive medium (30 g L(-1) sugar cane extract (SCE), 10 g L(-1) NaNO(3) and 5 g L(-1) yeast extract) and A.
