Soft matter shows plenty of unique and improved optical properties for deep scientific understanding, thereby promoting fabrication, characterization and device performance for potential photonic applications that include, but are not limited to, photovoltaic cells, photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, tunable microlasers, optical filters for biosensors, smart windows, virtual/augmented reality head-mounted elements, and high-speed spatial light modulators in glasses-free 3D displays.Materials sciencebicssclocalization of lightphotonic crystalschiralitydye-doped cholesteric liquid crystaloptical Tamm statesresonant frequency dispersionsmart windowcholesteric liquid crystalphotochromic dichroic dyeTamm plasmonBragg mirrorrugate filterband gaplight reflection and transmissionmetasurfacestamm plasmon polaritonsuniform lying helixpolymer networkfrequency modulationelectro-optic responsemesogenic dimerflexoelectric effectdielectric effectnematic liquid crystal2D periodic structureshexagonal diffraction patternsphotoalignmentout-of-plane reorientationflat optical elementsoptical Freedericksz transitiondye-doped liquid crystalmolecular reorientationcolloidal crystalsmagnetitemicroparticlesBragg reflectionmagnetic responsesilica particlesopalspolydispersity indexdisLocateVoronoi tessellationsbond order parametersmetasurfacemetagratingsMaterials scienceTimofeev Ivan Vedt1279484Lee WeiedtTimofeev Ivan VothLee WeiothBOOK9910639987303321Soft Photonic Crystals and Metamaterials3015481UNINA05671nam 2201465z- 450 991074328250332120230911(CKB)5690000000228482(oapen)doab113977(EXLCZ)99569000000022848220230920c2023uuuu -u- -engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierIonizing Radiation, Antioxidant Response and Oxidative Damage: RadiomodulatorsMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20231 online resource (322 p.)3-0365-8189-8 Ionizing radiation (IR) exposure can be deleterious for living tissues and eventually lead to illness or even death. DNA breakdown and the overproduction of highly reactive free radicals, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are considered initiators of IR-induced molecular and cellular damages, whereas NO, TGF-β and other pro-inflammatory cytokines are the primary effectors involved in radiation bystander effects (RIBE). Radiomodulators can reduce (radioprotectors and radiomitigators) or increase (radiosensitizers) IR damage. Past world events have highlighted the urgent need to develop predictive biomarkers of the IR absorbed dose and radiation countermeasures to reduce IR damage. Despite the strong economic and scientific efforts over the last decades, at present, drugs for effective protection against lethal IRs remain an unmet need. Moreover, the development of radiosensitizers that selectively increase IR damage in cancer cells but protecting, or at least do not affect, healthy tissues is also of unquestionable importance to improving patient survival and quality of life. It includes contributions that will help to understand the mechanisms involved in radiation-derived cellular responses and damage, the importance of free radical scavengers and antioxidant cellular defenses in preventing harm, and the relevance of the antiinflammatory response to improve recovery. In accordance, the mechanism of action and effectiveness of relevant radiomodulators are described and discussed, and novel clinical models and IR biomarker technologies are presented.Ionizing Radiation, Antioxidant Response and Oxidative DamageMedicine and NursingbicsscPharmacologybicssc3T3 fibroblastsacute gamma irradiationamino acid sequencesantioxidantantioxidant defense systemapoptosisATPAuranofinbacterial dietary supplementbioinformaticsbone marrow injurybone marrow microenvironmentC57Bl/6 micecancercellular stresscombination therapydysbiosiselectron beam radiationelectron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)ferulic acidFT-IRgene signatureGSHH2O2human lactoferrinhyperthermiahypoxiaimmune responseintestineionising radiationionizing radiationirradiationleukocytesMDAmelatoninmicrobiomemicrobiotamitigationmodel animalmtDNA-mutationsmucositisn/anDNA-repairnormal tissuenuclear and radiological emergenciesOlea europaea L. cv.
