Does the setup of Monte Carlo simulations influence the calculated properties and effect of gold nanoparticles in radiation therapy?
For a given volume, the dose curves are not affected by the size of the dose-scoring voxels. However, the voxel size may hide or reveal the finer structure of the dose curves and/or may result in misleading curves.
These data suggest that dietary GD3 protects newborn rats from NEC, in part, by augmenting mucosal Foxp3+ T regulatory immune responses.
