Protection and sensitization of normal and tumor cells to proton radiation by cerium oxide nanoparticles
(2015-11)
Cerium oxide nanoparticles are investigated as radioprotectors and radiosensitizers for normal (healthy) and tumor cells for charged particle radiation. Results are presented for cell survival and DNA damage for in-vitro ...
Diversity in warning coloration: selective paradox or the norm?
(2018-08-27)
Aposematic theory has historically predicted that predators should select for warning signals to converge on a single form, as a result of frequency‐dependent learning. However, widespread variation in warning signals is ...
