Single ?-particle irradiation permits real-time visualization of RNF8 accumulation at DNA damaged sites.

ABSTRACT: As well as being a significant source of environmental radiation exposure, ?-particles are increasingly considered for use in targeted radiation therapy. A better understanding of ?-particle induced damage at the DNA scale can be achieved by following their tracks in real-time in targeted living cells. Focused ?-particle microbeams can facilitate this but, due to their low energy (up to a few MeV) and limited range, ?-particles detection, delivery, and follow-up observations of radiation-induced damage remain difficult. In this study, we developed a thin Boron-doped Nano-Crystalline Diamond membrane that allows reliable single ?-particles detection and single cell irradiation with negligible beam scattering. The radiation-induced responses of single 3?MeV ?-particles delivered with focused microbeam are visualized in situ over thirty minutes after irradiation by the accumulation of the GFP-tagged RNF8 protein at DNA damaged sites.

Project description:Mixed reality (MR) enables a novel way to visualize virtual objects on real scenarios considering physical constraints. This technology arises with other significant advances in the field of sensors fusion for human-centric 3D capturing. Recent advances for scanning the user environment, real-time visualization and 3D vision using ubiquitous systems like smartphones allow us to capture 3D data from the real world. In this paper, a disruptive application for assessing the status of indoor infrastructures is proposed. The installation and maintenance of hidden facilities such as water pipes, electrical lines and air conditioning tubes, which are usually occluded behind the wall, supposes tedious and inefficient tasks. Most of these infrastructures are digitized but they cannot be visualized onsite. In this research, we focused on the development of a new application (GEUINF) to be launched on smartphones that are capable of capturing 3D data of the real world by depth sensing. This information is relevant to determine the user position and orientation. Although previous approaches used fixed markers for this purpose, our application enables the estimation of both parameters with a centimeter accuracy without them. This novelty is possible since our method is based on a matching process between reconstructed walls of the real world and 3D planes of the replicated world in a virtual environment. Our markerless approach is based on scanning planar surfaces of the user environment and then, these are geometrically aligned with their corresponding virtual 3D entities. In a preprocessing phase, the 2D CAD geometry available from an architectural project is used to generate 3D models of an indoor building structure. In real time, these virtual elements are tracked with the real ones modeled by using ARCore library. Once the alignment between virtual and real worlds is done, the application enables the visualization, navigation and interaction with the virtual facility networks in real-time. Thus, our method may be used by private companies and public institutions responsible of the indoor facilities management and also may be integrated with other applications focused on indoor navigation.
