Low-Dose Irradiation Differentially Impacts Macrophage Phenotype in Dependence of Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes and Radiation Dose by Lisa Deloch, Jana Fuchs, Michael Rückert, Rainer Fietkau, Benjamin Frey, Udo S. Gaipl

“…Low-dose radiotherapy (LD-RT) with particularly a single dose of 0.5 Gy has been demonstrated to have a positive impact on pain, inflammation, and bone in inflamed joints. We now examined for the first time how LD-RT influences FLS and bone marrow-derived macrophages in co-culture systems of an experimental model of RA to reveal further mechanisms of immune modulatory effects of low and intermediate dose of ionizing radiation. …”

Taphonomic variation in vascular remains from Mesozoic non-avian dinosaurs by M. H. Schweitzer, W. Zheng, E. Dickinson, J. Scannella, A. Hartstone-Rose, P. Sjövall, J. Lindgren

“…Abstract The identity and source of flexible, semi-transparent, vascular-like components recovered from non-avian dinosaur bone are debated, because: (1) such preservation is not predicted by degradation models; (2) taphonomic mechanisms for this type of preservation are not well defined; and (3) although support for molecular endogeneity has been demonstrated in select specimens, comparable data are lacking on a broader scale. …”
