Research conducted in the framework of Jagiellonian-PET (J-PET) project aims to develop a cost-effective total-body positron emission tomography scanner. As first step on way construct full-scale J-PET tomograph from long strips plastic scintillators, 24-strip prototype was built and tested. The consists detection modules arranged axially forming cylindrical diagnostic chamber with inner diamet...

Tissue phantom ratio (TPR), for square fields of various dimensions has been determined at varying depths in water. The dose in water has been measured at a fixed source-to-surface distance (SSD) of 100 cm and reference depth of 5 cm for 6 MV photon beam of Siemens Linear Accelerator Primus 11 in German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg, Germany. A modified formula has been developed to...

Heterotrimeric G proteins of the Gα(i) family have been implicated in signaling pathways regulating cell migration in immune diseases. The Gα(i)-protein-coupled C5a receptor is a critical regulator of IgG FcR function in experimental models of immune complex (IC)-induced inflammation. By using mice deficient for Gα(i2) or Gα(i3), we show that Gα(i2) is necessary for neutrophil influx in skin an...

Universities are undertaking transformation projects that align their work with the Sustainable Development Goals. This paper describes how Ocean I3, an educational innovation project aims to reduce plastic in sea, has made impact on its community over three editions (2018/19 2020/21). Methodologically, it been approached by people who make up technical team and academic coordination as explora...

Methods and results Male C57BL/6 mice (n=30) were immunized with 100μg of peanut protein. Half received a 30-day raw-peanutchallenge-diet (CD) (inflamed-I) while the other received mouse chow (controls-C)(Teixeira 2008). They were further divided and received sweetened OVA (new protein) (egg white diluted in distilled H2O, 1:5 v/v+5% sucralose) orally for 7 days, on day 0 (I1 C1), 10 (I2 C2) or...

this study was carried out to determine the optimal irrigation intervals in sugar beet seed production fields and to evaluate the effects of irrigation at different growth stages of sugar beet seed bearing plants (cv. shirin) on seed qualitative and quantitative characteristics. the treatments were four irrigation intervals including a control (i1) (irrigation at three stages; planting, bolting...

Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen-presenting cells that are used in vaccine approaches to cancer. Classically, mature monocyte-derived DC are generated in vitro in the presence of interleukin (IL)-4, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, and inflammatory cytokines (G4-DC). Recently, it has been described that DC can also be generated in the presence of IL-3 and interfero...
