主 题:biomechanical measurements DNA damage microfluidic radiotherapy real-time Silicon Nanotweezers
摘 要:The killing of tumor cells by ionizing radiation beams in cancer radiotherapy is currently based on a rather empirical understanding of the basic mechanisms and effectiveness of DNA damage by *** contrast,the mechanical behaviour of DNA encompassing sequence sensitivity and elastic transitions to plastic responses is much better understood.A novel approach is proposed here based on a micromechanical Silicon Nanotweezers *** instrument allows the detailed biomechanical characterization of a DNA bundle exposed to an ionizing radiation beam delivered here by a therapeutic linear particle accelerator(LINAC).The micromechanical device endures the harsh environment of radiation beams and still retains molecular-level detection *** this study,the first real-time observation of DNA damage by ionizing radiation is *** DNA bundle degradation is detected by the micromechanical device as a reduction of the bundle stiffness,and a theoretical model provides an interpretation of the *** first real-time observations pave the way for both fundamental and clinical studies of DNA degradation mechanisms under ionizing radiation for improved tumor treatment.
