Potential Role of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate and Its Receptors in the Reparative Processes of the Adult Brain

This review highlights the main aspects of the involvement of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) metabolism in the reparative processes of the adult brain, including neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis and angiogenesis, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the central nervou...

Laser-Generated Ultrashort Pulsed Electron Beams Induce p53-Related Alteration of DNA Repair and Cell Death Pathways in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells

Laser-driven accelerated particle beams have significantly advanced cancer treatment by facilitating the delivery of exceptionally high dose rates of radiation to solid tumors within femto- to picosecond timescales. This investigation compared the radiobiological effectiveness of...

Vacuum-Compatible Electrode-Free Poling of PVDF Films Using Glow-Discharge Plasma

Glow-discharge plasma (GDP) poling is revisited as an electrode-free method for activating piezoelectricity in poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) films. Although this method was proposed several decades ago, its effect on the properties of PVDF films has remained poorly understood....
