Constant improvements of the computational power and methods as well demands accurate reliable measurements for reactor operation safety require a continuous upgrade instrumentation. In particular, nuclear sensors used in fission reactors (research or reactors) fusion facilities are operated under intense mixed neutron gamma-ray fields, need to be calibrated modeled provide selective measuremen...

Signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a stress responsive transcription factor that plays a key role in oxidative stress-mediated tissue injury. As reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a known source of damage to tissues of the inner ear following loud sound exposure, we examined the role of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/STAT3 signaling pathway in noise induce hearing loss us...

Invasion into adjacent brain parenchyma is the key cause of recurrent human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The role of interleukin 6 (IL-6) in the malignant progression of glioma remains undefined. Here, we found that IL-6 promotes the invasion of U87 MG human glioma cells but not in U343 cells. An advanced level of STAT3 activity, and increased expression and secretion of MMP-2, induced by IL-...

The Slovenian 250 kW TRIGA Mark II reactor operated by the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) has continuously operated since 1966. Since its commissioning it has played an important role in developing nuclear technology and safety culture in Slovenia. During the years the reactor has been utilized for training, research and isotope production. Education and training activities comprise regular exper...
