Induction of cancer stem-like cells in A549 cells after exposure to carbon ions and X-rays
Background: Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) play a crucial role in the initiation, progression, and recurrence of cancer. Evidence indicates that the high linear energy transfer (LET) carbon ion beam is more effective against CSCs than the conventional X-ray beam. Carbon ion radiotherapy is considered as a promising cancer strategy, however, information about whether, or not, new CSCs are induced...
متن کاملFirst Sub-Micron Targeting with Single Ions
Since 2003, we use the GSI heavy-ion microprobe to irradiate living cells with ions from the UNILAC [1]. Two specific properties of the microbeam method make it stand out among other, more conventional irradiation procedures: First, we precisely control the dose by counting and switching individual particles that are to be delivered to the target, down to the low-dose limit of a single ion per ...
متن کاملSingle Event Effect Studies on the 180 nm UMC process with the GSI Heavy Ion Microprobe
For the future experiments at the new FAIR accelerator facility radiation damages to electronic components are an important issue. In this regard, the ASIC design group of the GSI Experiment Electronics department has launched a research project for the characterisation of Single Event Effects (SEE) on the 180 nm UMC process, including the development of an ASIC called GRISU[1]. SEE is the term...
متن کاملLive cell imaging at the Munich ion microbeam SNAKE – a status report
Ion microbeams are important tools in radiobiological research. Still, the worldwide number of ion microbeam facilities where biological experiments can be performed is limited. Even fewer facilities combine ion microirradiation with live-cell imaging to allow microscopic observation of cellular response reactions starting very fast after irradiation and continuing for many hours. At SNAKE, the...
متن کاملInterphase Death of Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells Exposed to Accelerated Heavy Ions
Introduction: Heavy ions are nucleus of elements of iron, argon, carbon and neon that all carry positive electrical charges. For these particles to be useful in radiotherapy they need to accelerated to high energy by more than thousand mega volts. Also the cosmic environment is considered to be a complicated mixture of highly energetic photons and heavy ions such as iron. Therefore, the health ...
