RADIOSENSITIVITY AND INDUCTION OF APOPTOSIS BY HIGH LET CARBON ION BEAM AND LOW LET GAMMA RADIATION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Radiosensitivity and Induction of Apoptosis by High LET Carbon Ion Beam and Low LET Gamma Radiation: A Comparative Study

Cancer treatment with high LET heavy ion beam, especially, carbon ion beam (12C), is becoming very popular over conventional radiotherapy like low LET gamma or X-ray.Combination of Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor with xenotoxic drugs or conventional radiation (gamma or X-ray) is the newer approach for cancer therapy.The aim of our stud

Anxiety Sensitivity and Tobacco Use: A Transdiagnostic Approach

Background: In recent years, several studies have found a relationship between transdiagnostic variables, such as anxiety sensitivity (AS) and tobacco use and smoking cessation.Method: In this line, the aim was twofold: 1) to analyze sex differences in variables related to tobacco and AS and 2) to examine the mediating effect of AS.For this purpose

Worldwide Web: High Venom Potency and Ability to Optimize Venom Usage Make the Globally Invasive Noble False Widow Spider Steatoda nobilis (Thorell, 1875) (Theridiidae) Highly Competitive against Native European Spiders Sharing the Same Habitats

Venom compositions include complex mixtures of toxic proteins that evolved to immobilize/dissuade Blood Sugar Support organisms by disrupting biological functions.Venom production is metabolically expensive, and parsimonious use is expected, as suggested by the venom optimisation hypothesis.The decision-making capacity to regulate venom usage has n
