166 Sprague-Dawley Rats (148 males and 118 females) submitted to different hormonal conditions were exposed to 3 repeated whole-body irradiations of 14.8 MeV neutrons or sham-irradiated between 50 and 65 days of age (total absorbed doses: 3 x 2 rad and 3 x 8 rad). They were observed for 11 months. In the male group, a small number of tumors was obtained. In the female group, 75 breast neoplasms were scored in 41 of 78 irradiated animals (54 fibroadenomas, 20 adenocarcinomas and 1 fibrosarcoma). A second group of benign and malignant tumors was observed from 200 days on. The neoplastic response to fast neutron fractionated irradiations was increased by pregnancy with subsequent lactation. Estradiol and progesterone receptors were measured in 34 tumor samples. Fibroadenomas (1;5) and adenocarcinomas (1;3) bound labelled steroids. Like in human breast cancer metastases, steroid receptors are found in recurrences only if present in the primary tumor.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates CUDC-101, a multitarget inhibitor, and its ability to improve radiation response in breast cancer when combined with proton and X-ray irradiation, with a focus on triple-negative breast cancer cell lines.
- - Results showed that CUDC-101 enhanced sensitivity to radiation, increased apoptosis, and caused G2/M cell cycle arrest, particularly in the aggressive MDA-MB-231 cell line.
- - The findings suggest that CUDC-101 could be an effective option for treating triple-negative breast cancer, either on its own or alongside radiation therapies.
Milk derived extracellular vesicle uptake in human microglia regulates the DNA methylation machinery : Short title: milk-derived extracellular vesicles and the epigenetic machinery.
Sci Rep

Mammalian milk contains milk-derived extracellular vesicles (MEVs), a group of biological nanovesicles that transport macromolecules. Their ability to cross the blood brain barrier and the presence of cargo capable of modifying gene function have led to the hypothesis that MEVs may play a role in brain function and development. Here, we investigated the uptake of MEVs by human microglia cells in vitro and explored the functional outcomes of MEV uptake.

Understanding the interaction between photons and matter is crucial for exploring essential questions in nuclear physics. The Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) is the prevailing mechanism in photo-absorption cross-sections up to 30 MeV. Depending on whether the nucleus is spherical or deformed, the curve of the photo-absorption cross-section versus photon energy is characterized by one or several Lorentzian peaks.

Background: The present study is aimed at calculating relative absorbed-dose energy response correction () of commonly used thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) such as LiF, LiBO, and AlO as a function of depth in water for protons (50-250 MeV/n) and carbon ion (80-480 MeV/n) beams using Monte Carlo-based FLUKA code.
Materials And Methods: On-axis depth-dose profiles in water are calculated for protons (50-250 MeV/n) and carbon ion (80-480 MeV/n) beams using FLUKA code. For the calculation of , selective depths are chosen based on the depth-dose profiles.
Electric pulse-tuned piezotronic effect for interface engineering.

Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, School of Materials and Energy, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, Gansu, China.
Article Synopsis
- Investigating interface engineering using piezoelectric, flexoelectric, and ferroelectric polarizations is crucial for enhancing the functionality of various semiconductor devices in electronics and optoelectronics.
- The performance of these devices is currently limited by the fixed and uncontrollable nature of the interface barrier once established.
- The study introduces a new method to reversibly and accurately adjust the piezotronic effect using electric pulses, demonstrating a significant tunable interface barrier height and improved current modulation, thus expanding potential applications in micro/nano-electromechanical systems.
