Journal ArticleDOI
Monte Carlo simulation of SARS-CoV-2 radiation-induced inactivation for vaccine development
TL;DR: It is proposed that accelerated charged particles produce inactivated viruses with little structural damage to envelope proteins, thereby representing a new and effective tool for developing vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 and other enveloped viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Geant4-DNA Evaluation of Radiation-Induced DNA Damage on a Human Fibroblast.
Wook Geun Shin,Dousatsu Sakata,Nathanael Lampe,Oleg Belov,Ngoc Hoang Tran,Ivan Petrović,Aleksandra Ristić-Fira,Milos Dordevic,Mario A. Bernal,Marie Claude Bordage,Ziad Francis,Ioanna Kyriakou,Yann Perrot,Takashi Sasaki,Carmen Villagrasa,Susanna Guatelli,Vincent Breton,Dimitris Emfietzoglou,Sebastien Incerti +18 more
TL;DR: Geant4-DNA as discussed by the authors is a toolkit based on the Monte Carlo technique to simulate track structures in a biological medium to calculate the early effects induced by ionizing radiation on DNA, the primary cellular target of such effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tran,Carmen Villagrasa,Sebastien Incerti +31 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors extended the Geant4-DNA radiobiological application by incorporating a feature allowing for the prediction of DNA rejoining kinetics and corresponding cell surviving fraction along time after irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of a new atomistic geometrical model of the B-DNA configuration for DNA-radiation interaction simulations
Mario A. Bernal,D. Sikansi,F. Cavalcante,Sebastien Incerti,Christophe Champion,Vladimir Ivanchenko,Ziad Francis,Ziad Francis,M. Karamitros,M. Karamitros +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, an atomistic model of the B-DNA configuration up to the 30-nm chromatin fiber was developed, which is intended to be used in Monte Carlo simulations of the DNA-radiation interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simulation study of gold nanoparticles localisation effects on radiation enhancement at the mitochondrion scale.
TL;DR: This paper presents a Monte-Carlo study focusing on the effects of gold nanoparticles on the energy deposition patterns produced by incident photons in the close vicinity of the mitochondrial network modeled as a tube.
