Dosimety radiobiology experiemtns have long needed a viable and realistic mouse phantom. In their paper “Technical Note: Manufacturing of a realistic mouse phantom for dosimetry of radiobiology experiments.” Esplen N, Alyaqoub E & Bazalova-Carter M aim to design a...
Histone acetyltransferase 1 (Hat1) is responsible for the acetylation of newly synthesized histone H4 on lysines 5 and 12 during the process of chromatin assembly. To understand the broader biological role of Hat1, we have generated a conditional mouse knockout model...
In their paper “Characterization of a plastic scintillating detector for the Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP)” Johnstone CD, Therriault-Proulx F, Beaulieu L & Bazalova-Carter M aimed to characterize a small plastic scintillator developed for high...
September 18th Open call for original research articles and current reviews dedicated to the development and application of animal models in radiotherapy research for publication in Cancers. Animal models are essential tools in radiotherapy research that have...
September 13th, 2019 New X-ray radiotherapy image guidance system and SARRP beamline research platform among advanced new solutions showcased on Xstrahl booth (No. 4028) at American Society for Radiation Oncology annual meeting in Chicago, September 15th-18th....
Non-ablative or mild hyperthermia (HT) has been shown in preclinical and clinical studies as a localized radiosensitizer that enhances the tumoricidal effects of radiation. Most preclinical in vivo HT studies use subcutaneous tumor models which do not adequately...
Xstrahl would like to say a big thank you to all the participants of the SARRP User Meeting hosted by the Xstrahl Life Sciences team on August 25th, 2019, the first day of the ICRR 2019 conference. The SARRP User Meeting brought together SARRP scientists from Europe...
Side effects caused by radiation are a limiting factor to the amount of dose that can be applied to a tumor volume. A novel method to reduce side effects in radiotherapy is the use of spatial fractionation, in which a pattern of sub-millimeter beams (minibeams) is...
Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. The standard of care consists of maximal possible surgical resection with concomitant radiation therapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ). Currently the target volume delineation for RT is based...
