The carcinogenic risk induced by low doses of ionizing radiation is controversial. It cannot be
assessed with epidemiologic methods alone because at low doses the data are imprecise …

A nonviral vector for highly efficient site-specific integration would be desirable for many
applications in transgenesis, including gene therapy. In this study we directly compared the …

The abscopal effect is potentially important for tumor control and is mediated through cytokines
and/or the immune system, mainly cell-mediated immunity. It results from loss of growth …

Nonviral integrating vectors can be used for expression of therapeutic genes. piggyBac (PB),
a transposon/transposase system, has been used to efficiently generate induced …

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a relatively common sequela of mediastinal
malignancies and may cause significant patient distress. SVCS is a medical emergency if …

Genetic transformation systems based on Mos1 and piggyBac transposable elements are
used to achieve stable chromosomal integration. However, integration sites are randomly …

Efficient integration of functional genes is an essential prerequisite for successful gene
delivery such as cell transfection, animal transgenesis, and gene therapy. Gene delivery …

A large-scale radiological incident would result in an immediate critical need to assess the
radiation doses received by thousands of individuals to allow for prompt triage and …
