Abstract

The present work is part of a preclinical in vitro study to assess the efficacy of BNCT applied to liver or lung coloncarcinoma metastases and to limb osteosarcoma. Adherent growing cell lines can be irradiated as adherent to the culture flasks or as cell suspensions, differences in radio-sensitivity of the two modalities of radiation exposure have been investigated. Dose related cell survival and cell cycle perturbation results evidenced that the radiosensitivity of adherent cells is higher than that of the suspended ones.

Cell & Developmental Biology contains resources in biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, physiology, and pharmacology that have a specific emphasis on cellular function in eukaryotic systems. Topics of particular importance include receptor biology and signal transduction, regulation of gene expression at the cellular level, developmental genetics, developmental biology and morphogenesis, and cell-environment interactions. Resources concentrated on molecular biochemistry and molecular regulation of gene expression, as well as microscopic or histological analysis of cell or tissue samples are excluded.
