radiation fibrosisBasilar invagination and basilar impression both refer to the displacement of the odontoid process into the foramen magnum, although the former is congenital and the latter is due to secondary etiology. Many etiologies for basilar impression exist, including trauma, Paget's disease of...
Senescent fibroblast facilitates re-epithelization and collagen deposition in radiation-induced skin injury through IL-33-mediated macrophage polarization The need for radiotherapy among the elderly rises with increasing life expectancy and a corresponding increase of elderly cancer patients. Radiation-induced...
Planar X-ray radiography has long been used as a first basic diagnostic test because of its acquisition speed, high availability, low cost and relatively low exposure to ionizing radiation (as compared to CT). Over time, however, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) imaging has gradually ...
as opposed to the glandular tissue, in which no difference in density was measured [16,20]. Notably, increased mammographic density was also found to be linked to increased density of lumican and decorin, proteoglycans implicated in both stromal integrity and growth pathways due to their...
Conventional transabdominal gray-scale B-mode US is often the first radiological assessment performed to evaluate the pancreas given its great availability, low cost, and lack of ionizing radiation [21,22,23]. While US is seldom useful in early-stage detection of CP, common pancreatic parenchymal...
Radiation therapy, a common cancer treatment, eradicates cancer cells by inducing DNA damage. The ovaries are particularly susceptible to radiation damage due to their inherent properties [104]. Radiation exposure typically results in ovarian tissue atrophy and fibrosis, with antifibrotic drugs showing po...
and p-Smad2/3. The transdifferentiation of human LFs to myofibroblasts resulting from radiation treatment was similarly inhibited by JQ1 [190]. Furthermore, in addition to its significant involvement in inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis in pulmonary fibrosis, BRD4 has also been associated ...

to map regional perfusion [35,36]. ASL RBF measurements have been validated against reference methods and have good reproducibility [36]. Its short acquisition time enables combination with other MRI techniques like MRE [33,36]. Furthermore, no ionizing radiation nor nephrotoxic contrast agents ...
To evaluate the effect of the anti-fibrotic protein serum amyloid P (SAP) on radiation-induced oral mucositis (OM) and fibrosis in a hamster cheek-pouch model. Hamsters received a single dose of radiation (40 Gy) to the left everted cheek pouch to induce
