A narrow microbeam is more effective for tumor growth suppression than a wide microbeam: an in vivo study using implanted human glioma cells
The tumoricidal mechanisms of microbeam radiation therapy, and the more recently proposed minibeam radiation therapy, for the treatment of brain tumors are as yet unclear. Moreover, from among the various parameters of beam geometry the impact of changing the beam width is unknown. In this study, suppression of tumor growth in human glioma cells implanted in mice was evaluated experimentally us...
متن کامل"Broadbeam" irradiation of mammalian cells using a vertical microbeam facility.
A "broadbeam" facility is demonstrated for the vertical microbeam at Surrey's Ion Beam Centre, validating the new technique used by Barazzuol et al. (Radiat Res 177:651-662, 2012). Here, droplets with a diameter of about 4 mm of 15,000 mammalian cells in suspension were pipetted onto defined locations on a 42-mm-diameter cell dish with each droplet individually irradiated in "broadbeam" mode wi...
متن کاملA Laser Microbeam Implemented at the Heavy-Ion Microbeam Facility
The heavy-ion microbeam is used for targeted irradiation of living cells (in culture) with ions from the UNILAC linear accelerator of GSI [1]. A custom-made epifluorescence microscope is available for beam targeting as well as for observation of proteins (tagged by fluorescent dyes) in sub-compartments of interest. In order to gain better insight into DNA damage repair processes, we intend to e...
متن کاملAdvances in radiobiological studies using a microbeam.
Recent developments in microbeam technology have made drastic improvements in particle delivery, focusing, image processing and precision to allow for rapid advances in our knowledge in radiation biology. The unequivocal demonstration that targeted cytoplasmic irradiation results in mutations in the nuclei of hit cells and the presence of non-targeted effects, all made possible using a charged ...
متن کاملOptofluidic cell manipulation for a biological microbeam.
This paper describes the fabrication and integration of light-induced dielectrophoresis for cellular manipulation in biological microbeams. An optoelectronic tweezers (OET) cellular manipulation platform was designed, fabricated, and tested at Columbia University's Radiological Research Accelerator Facility (RARAF). The platform involves a light induced dielectrophoretic surface and a microflui...
