Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) uses very high dose, synchrotron-generated X-ray beams—narrower than a human hair—to blast tumours with radiation while sparing healthy tissue. The idea is ...

UPTON, NY -- An experimental form of radiation therapy, known as microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), now under development at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory ...

Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) provides tremendous promise for cancer patients through its ability to destroy tumor cells while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. Yet research into its ...

The researchers carried out microbeam measurements at the ESRF's ID17 Biomedical Beamline. (Courtesy: P.JAYET/ESRF) Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is an emerging preclinical modality that could one ...

Targeted Nano Therapies team The University of Wollongong researchers at the Imaging and Medical Beamline of the ANSTO Australian Synchrotron, where the microbeam radiation therapy study was conducted ...

The conventional RT paradigm of delivering a homogeneous dose to the whole tumour, conventionally delivered at dose rates of 0.03 Gy/s is challenged by pre-clinical data generated with i) spatially ...

It's known as microbeam radiation therapy. With conventional radiotherapy, the radiation is spread broadly across the tumor in order to kill the cancerous tissue. But this also means more chances ...

Wilson owned and ran one of first commercial heap leach mining operations at the Windfall Gold Mine. Wilson generously gave back to Nevada with a $750,000 gift through his Wilson Family Foundation to ...

The Microbeam Laboratory at the Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering allows researchers in Nevada and beyond the ability to rent state-of-the-art microscopes for various use cases.

LCM is principally used to dissect and collect samples from histological sections and cell cultures, down to one-cell level and even below. A typical downstream application is RNA or DNA isolation.
