Study of 6-propyl-2-thiouracil as a radioprotector for the thyroid gland
The objective of the paper was to study the application of 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU) as a radioprotector for the thyroid gland. Rat thyroid epithelial cells (FRTL-5) and human colon cancer cells (ARO81-1) were exposed to γ-irradiation with or without 1 mM PTU. Radiation response was analysed by clonogenic survival assay. Cyclic AMP levels were measured by Radioimmunoassay (RIA). The results ...

Sex‐specific changes in thyroid gland function and circulating thyroid hormones in nestling American kestrels (Falco sparverius) following embryonic exposure to PBDEs by maternal transfer
High concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) accumulate in predatory birds. Several PBDE congeners are considered thyroid disruptors however avian studies are limited. Here, we examined circulating thyroid hormones, thyroid gland function of nestling American kestrels (Falco sparverius) at 17‐20 d of age, following embryonic exposure by maternal transfer only to ...

SPACE BIO-3D PRINTING FROM HUMAN CARTILAGE TO THYROID GLAND IN RODENTS AND TO SPACE ARTIFICIAL MEAT
Space bio-3D printing from Human Cartilage to Thyroid Gland in Rodents and to Space Artificial Meat: SUNKYE Satisfies the Connection and Signal System of Bio-3D Printing in Micro-gravity Environment Space bio-3D printing may be a concept we've heard recently. But as with 3D printing technology, there was only a short accumulation before it happened! Do we need Space bio-3D printing? Can't we ...

The significance of thyroid cancer in reactor safety assessment
The risk of thyroid cancer from reactor accidents has long been a salient factor in the analysis of nuclear reactor safety. This risk arises largely from the abundance of iodine-131 in the fission product inventory. Iodine disperses widely if released into the atmosphere and could enter the human food-chain, particularly through consumption of contaminated cows' milk. Iodine entering the human ...

Chinese company implants 3-D printed blood vessels into monkeys
Beijing, China (CNN)A major breakthrough in 3-D printed medicine could bring hope to nearly 1.8 billion patients with cardiovascular disease. Chinese scientists working for Sichuan Revotek have successfully 3-D printed blood vessels and implanted them in rhesus monkeys, the company said. It is a major step on the road to mass printing human organs for transplants. The company ...
