Isolated THz magnetic fields

Magnetic fields are usually created in metal conductors, often organized in a single rotation loop. The field is calculated using the Biot-Savart law while the time-response is limited by inductance. SLAC, has recently been used to minimize inductance by employing the magnetic field around a relativistic electron beam. The field can peak at several Tesla, […]

Evaluation of heat stress in lifeguards

Due to climate change, exposure to increasingly warmer temperatures, especially during the summer months, is of concern. This is true for lifeguards who play a vital role in ensuring the safety and well-being of visitors to aquatic facilities as well as beachfronts open for public swimming. Due to routine exposure to hot and humid conditions, […]

Evaluation of anti-invasive and anti-migratory effects of kaempferol and docetaxel co-treatment via modulation of drug metabolising enzymes in 2D and 3Dbreast cancer models.

Docetaxel is a key chemotherapeutic agent for treating locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, but its effectiveness is often hindered by metabolic inactivation from drug-metabolizing enzymes, leading to multidrug resistance (MDR). This study aims to investigate the anti-metastatic effects of combining kaempferol, a flavonoid known for its anticancer properties, with docetaxel in both 2D and […]
