Dynamic interplay of autophagy and membrane repair during Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection. by Jacques Augenstreich, Anna T Phan, Charles N S Allen, Anushka Poddar, Hanzhang Chen, Lalitha Srinivasan, Volker Briken

“…Most notably, the LC3-positive MCVs did not acidify, indicating that LC3 recruitment does not necessarily lead to the formation of mature autophagolysosomes. Interferon-gamma pre-treatment did not affect LC3 recruitment frequency or autophagosome acidification but increased the susceptibility of the macrophage to Mtb-induced cell death. …”

Performance of PMMA/Ta2O5 Composites as Medical Radiation Shielding: WinXCom and MCNP6 Studies by Mustafa Çağlar

“…To mitigate the adverse effects of radiation, polymer composites have begun to garner interest from researchers as potential lead-free shielding materials, largely due to their distinctive attributes, including flexibility, lightness, and environmental benignity. In this study, the gamma radiation shielding capacity of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) composites reinforced with varying proportions of Ta₂O₅ (5%, 10%, and 20% wt) was investigated through the utilization of Windows version of photon cross sections on a personal computer (WinXCom) software and the Monte Carlo N-Particle 6 (MCNP6) code. …”
