whether a papillary thyroid carcinoma was induced by radiation or had a sporadic origin. With this discovery, scientists from the Helmholtz Zentrum München have identified a new biomarker for the diagnosis of the cancer cause.
CLIP2 serves as a radiation marker: After exposure to radiation from radioiodine, both the genetic activity and the protein expression are increased,
as the scientists'studies were able to substantiate. CLIP2 appears to be particularly significant in the development of tumours in the thyroid gland after radiation exposure.
The team around Martin Selmansberger, Dr. Julia Heß, Dr. Kristian Unger and Prof. Dr. Horst Zitzelsberger from the Radiation Cytogenetics Research Unit at the Helmholtz Zentrum München discovered a connection between high CLIP2 levels and the radiation history of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma."
"In our study, we were able to verify radiation-associated CLIP2 expression at the protein level in three different cohorts of patients with thyroid carcinoma,"reports first author Selmansberger.
The research paper was prepared at the Helmholtz Zentrum München in cooperation with the Institute of Radiation Protection and the Analytical Pathology Research Unit.
Radiation marker CLIP2 allows distinction of cancer cause and risk assessment"CLIP2 serves as a radiation marker
and allows us to distinguish between radiation-induced and sporadic thyroid carcinomas, "adds study leader Heß.
In their investigations, the scientists developed a standardized method to determine the CLIP2 biomarker status."This biomarker allows us both to draw conclusions about the mechanisms involved in the development of such tumours
and to evaluate the risk of thyroid cancer after exposure to high level radiation, for instance, following a radiation accident,"reports Heß.
The Helmholtz Zentrum München focuses its work in health research on major widespread diseases. In addition to diabetes and lung diseases, this also includes cancer.

As the air-filled cavity cannot be darkened by radioactive radiation the researchers see PCFS as an interesting alternative to conventional fibre-optic sensors in order to ultimately measure radioactivity as well.
The Erlangen-based physicists examined whether hollow-core photonic crystal fibres are suitable as sensors by initially using the fibres to measure electric fields, vibrations and temperatures.
Fluorescent beads as a sensor for radioactivity In their experiment the researchers used an oven to heat part of the fibre to temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius.
Next, we want to realize the radioactivity sensor, says Bykov. To do this, the researchers want to use fluorescent beads
which re-emit the radioactive radiation absorbed in the form of visible light. Information on the strength of the radioactivity at the location of the bead would then be provided by the changes in the intensity of the fluorescence.
Bykov sees great potential in the new technology. The spatial resolution would theoretically be limited only by the size of the particle.

She then compared the material's performance to the performance of bulk materials that are used currently in shielding applications.
The most effective composite metal foam against all three forms of radiation is called"high-Z steel-steel
The researchers tested shielding performance against several kinds of gamma ray radiation. Different source materials produce gamma rays with different energies.
