Serological responses to SARS-CoV-2 in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals: A Canadian study Open
COVID-19 severity has been correlated with older age, male sex, and the presence of comorbidities; it is hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses are also correlated.159 unvaccinated patients with SARS-CoV-2 infections were assessed…

X-ray-induced bio-acoustic emissions from cultured cells Open
We characterize for the first time the emission of acoustic waves from cultured cells irradiated with X-ray photon radiation. Human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HL-60) and control cell-free media were exposed to 1 Gy X-ray photons while recor…

X-ray induced bio-acoustic emissions from cultured cells Open
Purpose We characterise for the first time the emission of bio-acoustic waves from cultured cells irradiated at doses of X-ray photon radiation relevant to medical and accidental exposure. Methods and materials Human cancer cell lines (MCF…

From tangled banks to toxic bunnies; a reflection on the issues involved in developing an ecosystem approach for environmental radiation protection Open
The objective of this paper is to present the results of discussions at a workshop held as part of the International Congress of Radiation Research (Environmental Health stream) in Manchester UK, 2019. The main objective of the workshop wa…

YAP/TAZ Regulate Elevation and Bone Formation of the Mouse Secondary Palate Open
Clefting of the secondary palate is one of the most common congenital anomalies, and the multiple corrective surgeries that individuals with isolated cleft palate undergo are associated with major costs and morbidities. Secondary palate de…

Xela DS2 and Xela VS2: two novel skin epithelial-like cell lines from adult African clawed frog (<i>Xenopus laevis</i>) and their response to an extracellular viral dsRNA analogue Open
The skin epithelial layer acts as an important immunological barrier against pathogens and is capable of recognizing and responding to pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in human and mouse models. Although presumed, it is unkno…

Quantifying Biophoton Emissions From Human Cells Directly Exposed to Low-Dose Gamma Radiation Open
Biophoton emission leading to bystander effects (BEs) was shown in beta-irradiated cells; however, technical challenges precluded the analysis of the biophoton role in gamma-induced BEs. The present work was to design an experimental appro…

Effects of Dose Rate on the Reproductive Cell Death and Early Mitochondrial Membrane Potential in Different Human Epithelium-Derived Cells Exposed to Gamma Rays Open
Dose rate is one of the most varied experimental parameters in radiation biology research. In this study, effects of dose rates on the radiation responses of 2 different types of human epithelium-derived cells, immortalized keratinocytes (…

Class A Scavenger Receptors Are Used by Frog Virus 3 During Its Cellular Entry Open
Frog virus 3 (FV3) is the type species of the genus Ranavirus (family Iridoviridae). FV3 and FV3-like viruses are globally distributed infectious agents with the capacity to replicate in three vertebrate classes (teleosts, amphibians, and …

5-HT<sub>2A</sub> and 5-HT<sub>3</sub> receptors contribute to the exacerbation of targeted and non-targeted effects of ionizing radiation-induced cell death in human colon carcinoma cells Open
Purpose: Serotonin (5-HT) is implicated in the underlying mechanisms which mediate cell death following ionizing radiation exposure, however, effects appear to be cell type-dependent. We sought to further characterize the role of 5-HT and …
