Here we present a powerful new microscopy method based on fluorescence anisotropy imaging microscopy (FAIM) of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between fluorescently labelled nucleosomes to spatiotemporally map live cell genome organisation in real time with super resolution.
This work presents a trans-ocular measurement of retinal blood-vessel-wall integrity as a quantitative assessment of hypertension.
FLASH is an emerging radiotherapy modality that enhances normal tissue sparing whilst maintaining tumour kill efficacy. This talk will summarise recent preclinical proton- and carbon-FLASH literature, and the predicted radiobiological mechanisms responsible for the 'FLASH effect' phenomenon.
Light is present throughout the process of IVF. However, its impact on embryos remains unknown. Here we controlled for equivalent energy dose of light applied across wavelengths and found longer wavelengths of light to be detrimental to the embryo.
Proton therapy is a modern radiotherapy treatment which allows significant sparing of healthy tissues compared with conventional photon radiation. Some assumptions made during treatment planning introduce uncertainties into the process which should be well understood and quantified.
We developed a compartment model where we assigned each daughter of actinium-225 unique biokinetics. We used the model to study the effect of daughter migration on organ doses in Targeted Alpha Therapy.
