Capturing the chemistry of radium-223 for cancer treatment
Scientists need a better understanding of the chemistry of radium to be able to target the isotope radium-223 (Ra-223) to cancer cells. Once delivered, Ra-223 can destroy those cells with alpha particles, a type of radiation......»»
Novel molecular design for enhanced efficacy and safety in radiotheranostics
Radiotheranostics embodies the convergence of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals into a unified platform. In cancer treatment, radiotheranostic procedures typically involve the use of antibodies that bind to proteins abundantly found on.....»»
Biochemists focus on degrading key cancer-driving protein as a potential approach to stop cancer growth
Case Western Reserve University biochemical researchers have identified a new function of a key protein that leads to cancer—a finding they believe could lead to more effective treatments for a range of cancers and other diseases......»»
Enhancing cancer therapy using functionalized photosynthetic bacteria
Targeting malignant tumors with high precision is challenging for biomedical researchers. However, this scenario is likely to witness a paradigm shift in the near future through the use of specially engineered bacteria that can eliminate malignant ce.....»»
A synthetic RNA export system reveals the dynamic lives of cells and suggests direction for new therapeutics
Cells change dynamically over time during embryonic development and aging, and in diseases such as inflammation and cancer. Some populations expand, others decline. The ability to track these changes over time, without killing the cells being measure.....»»

Topology"s role in decoding energy of amorphous systems
How is a donut similar to a coffee cup? This question often serves as an illustrative example to explain the concept of topology. Topology is a field of mathematics that examines the properties of objects that remain consistent even when they are str.....»»
Heat sensor protects the Venus flytrap from fire
The Venus flytrap can survive in the nutrient-poor swamps of North and South Carolina because it compensates for the lack of nitrogen, phosphate and minerals by catching and eating insects. It hunts with snap traps that have sensory hairs on them. If.....»»
More Colorado communities take "forever chemical" makers to court as contamination costs mount
They stand at least 30 feet tall and 10 feet across, eight giant baby blue tanks filled with what is this fast-growing town's best defense against a glut of industrial cancer-causing chemicals that have been accumulating and percolating for half a ce.....»»
