Clinical efficacy of ONC201 in H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline gliomas is driven by disruption of integrated metabolic and epigenetic pathways

Sebastian Martin Waszak, Li Jiang

H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma (DMG) patients have no proven effective therapies. ONC201 has recently demonstrated efficacy in these patients, but the mechanism behind this remains unknown. We assessed clinical outcomes, tumor sequencing, and tissue/ ...

X-ray qualification of hydrogenated amorphous silicon sensors on flexible substrate

Sylvain Dunand, Mikaël Martino, Nicolas Würsch, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Matthew James Large

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is a well known material for its radiation resistance and for the possibility of deposition on flexible substrates like Polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). Due to the p ...

Single-projection reconstruction technique for positioning monodisperse spheres in 3D with a divergent x-ray beam

Edward Carlo Giorgio Andò

The measurement of the position of single-sized spheres in 3D from a single, divergent, radiographic projection is addressed in the present study with the development of a novel method. Generally speaking, the location of the shadow cast by a single sphere ...

Energy-selective neutron imaging for materials science

Steven Luc X Peetermans

Common neutron imaging techniques study the attenuation of a neutron beam penetrating a sample of interest. The recorded radiograph shows a contrast depending on traversed material and its thickness. Tomography allows separating both and obtaining 3D spati ...

Spline based iterative phase retrieval algorithm for X-ray differential phase contrast radiography

Michaël Unser, Masih Nilchian, Marco Stampanoni

Differential phase contrast imaging using grating interferometer is a promising alternative to conventional X-ray radiographic methods. It provides the absorption, differential phase and scattering information of the underlying sample simultaneously. Phase ...

Visualization of water drying in porous materials by X-ray phase contrast imaging

Anne Bonnin

We present in this study results from X-ray tomographic microscopy with synchrotron radiation performed both in attenuation and phase contrast modes on a limestone sample during two stages of water drying. No contrast agent was used in order to increase th ...

Characterization of structural disturbances in peats by X-ray CT-based density determinations

Alexandre Buttler, Pascal Turberg, Fränz Zeimetz

Bulk densitywas determined indirectly in peat samples by X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) and compared with density values obtained by standard laboratory methods. Five Histosols were collected in the same cut-over peatland, representing various degree ...

Simultaneous neutron transmission and diffraction contrast tomography as a non-destructive 3D method for bulk single crystal quality investigations

Steven Luc X Peetermans

Traditional neutron tomography allows to reconstruct the attenuation cross section, a measure for the material distribution, at high spatial resolution and non-destructively. However, it does not state anything about the ordering structure of the atoms ins ...
