Deep learning-based optimization of field geometry for total marrow irradiation delivered with volumetric modulated arc therapy
CONCLUSIONS: The generated field geometries were clinically acceptable and adequate, even for an MP with high level of expertise in TMI/TMLI. Incorporating the knowledge of the MPs into the development cycle was crucial for optimizing the models, especially in this scenario with limited data.PMID:38634859 | DOI:10.1002/mp.17089 (Source: Health Physics)

Loss of SREBP-1c ameliorates iron-induced liver fibrosis by decreasing lipocalin-2
Experimental & Molecular Medicine, Published online: 16 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s12276-024-01213-2Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c plays a role in liver fat regulation and is elevated in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Researchers investigated role of SREBP-1c in NASH using mice models and patient samples, focusing on lipocalin-2 (LCN2) regulation. In NASH mice, LCN2 expression was increased, driven by SREBP-1c. LCN2 treatment increased iron accumulation and fibrosis-related gene expression in hepatic stellate cells, dependent on SREBP-1c. LCN2 expression correlated with inflammation and fibros...
