ERI: Toward Unfolding the Effect of Sex Variations in Biomechanics of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and many other brain diseases/injuries exhibit sex differences in prevalence. onset. and outcomes. Some of these differences are attributed to the fact that the human brain is sexually dimorphic and there are certain regional and structural differences that exist between male and female brains. However. the effect of these sex variations in biomechanical responses of brain have not been elucidated. The paucity of sex-specific knowledge in brain biomechanics and TBI fields is mainly due to the fact that. these fields have predominantly focused on males.

CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT OF RHENIUM NANOLIPOSOMES (RNL 186) FOR GLIOBLASTOMA

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and most aggressive of the primary malignant brain tumor in adults,with a median overall survival of 19.6 months following multi-modality therapy. The main limiting factor indelivering a tumoricidal radiation dose is the toxicity to surrounding brain. Therapeutic radionuclides, due to ashort tissue path and differences in radiobiology, have the potential to extend the therapeutic window for radiationin GBM.
