I’m pleased to inform you that our research paper (authors: Yasuda H, Kawamoto H, Asai K, & Koguchi Y) entitled "Preliminary analyses of radiophotoluminescence centers in a recently developed Ag-doped alkali-phosphate glass (SAPANS)" has been published in Radiation Measurements (publisher: Elsevier). In this paper, we present the temporal change in the electron-spin-resonance (ESR/EPR) spectrum of a novel radiophotoluminescence glass, SAPANS, and then discuss the complex mechanism of RPL-center formation in Ag-doped alkali-phosphate glasses including a commercial RPL glass. https://lnkd.in/gymTGxDe

Ready to spy on peroxisomes in live cells? 🕵️ Researchers from EPFL synthesized highly specific far-red and red photostable peroxisomal dyes that they collectively call PeroxiSPY. These probes provide a complementary approach to existing methods of visualizing peroxisomes. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/edS5JBd6

Imagine you have tiny building blocks (proteins) that sometimes stick together in a way that isn't good and can make your brain not work well. In this work, researchers found that when calcium is around, these blocks stick together in a different way, making possible to our brain not to become sick (Alzheimer’s Disease). Know more about this work here: https://bioisi.pt/news/83 Read the full paper, first-authored by Ana Carapeto, researcher from the Atomic Force Microscopy and Related Techniques Lab (at BioISI - Biosystems & Integrative Sciences Institute - Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa ). This study was coordinated by Mário Rodrigues (group leader of the Atomic Force Microscopy and Related Techniques Lab) and Patrícia Faísca (group leader of the Biological Physics Lab) and was published on Biomolecules journal here: https://bit.ly/47cBx1L #BioISiDigest #alzheimersdisease #AtomicForceMicroscopy #ProteinAggregation

I am thrilled to share the wonderful news that we have recently received final acceptance for one of Dr. N. Jooyan's doctoral thesis articles in the prestigious journal Chemosphere, which has an impact factor of 8.8. This achievement has significantly enhanced our understanding of the common aspects of ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiofrequency radiations, specifically focusing on the quadruple effects of hormetic effects, adaptive responses, bystander effect, and hypersensitivity. Over the years, numerous articles have been published on each aspect of this quadruple phenomenon. Our team's 2019 findings have confirmed the occurrence of bystander effects induced by radiofrequency radiation for the first time on a global scale, highlighting its significance.

Excited to share that our study on the cell origin of IPMN is now published! This work would not have been possible without the dedications of my postdoc, Dr. Kiyoshi Saeki, and my collaborator, Dr. Janel Kopp. In our studies, we found that Acvr1b loss, likely through abrogation of Activin signaling, is one of the few pathways identified to date that promotes precancerous lesion formation from both acinar and ductal cells expressing Kras G12D. https://lnkd.in/ei6HcgF5
