    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for enhanced production and/or secretion of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from muscle cells utilizing various dynamic mechanical loading profiles thereon, cultured on three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds. The scaffolds may comprise a plurality of layers, wherein each layer comprises a plurality of elastic microfibers, and wherein the microfibers are aligned in parallel to a longitudinal axis and to each other. The elastic 3D scaffold may be configured to undergo dynamic mechanical loading profiles and support an expansion of a population of muscle cells cultured thereon into a 3D multi-layer structure of muscle cells, wherein said 3D multi-layer structure is configured to produce and/or secret extracellular vesicles into a medium.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a scintillator structure and to a method for producing an output optical signal at a specific wavelength range. The scintillator structure comprises a multilayer nanostructure formed by at least one pair of alternating first and second layered material being arranged along one or more principal axes. The multi-layer nanostructure defines predetermined geometrical parameters and the structure is made of at least two different material compositions. At least one of the first layered material, the second layered material, or the combination of both, define scintillation properties. The invention also discloses a detector system for detecting an input radiation comprising a scintillator structure being as defined above and being configured and operable to collect most of the emitted optical signal.
