Radionuclide therapy employing alpha emitters holds great potential for personalized cancer treatment. However, certain challenges remain when designing alpha radiopharmaceuticals, including the lack of stability of used radioconjugates due to nuclear decay events. In this work,

The relatively high linear energy transfer of Auger electrons, which can cause clustered DNA damage and hence efficient cell death, makes Auger emitters excellent candidates for attacking metastasized tumors. Moreover, gammas or positrons are usually emitted along with the Auger

Four different MOFs were exposed to γrays by a cobalt-60 source reaching a maximum dose of 5 MGy. The results showed that the MIL-100 (Cr) and MIL-100 (Fe) did not exhibit obvious structural damage, suggesting their excellent radiation stability. MIL-101 (Cr) showed good radiatio

The Martian surface is constantly exposed to a high dose of cosmic radiation consisting of highly energetic particles and multiple types of ionizing radiation. The dose can increase temporarily by a factor of 50 through the occurrence of highly energetic solar flares. This may af

Information gain in environmental monitoring through bioindication and biomonitoring methods ("B & B technologies") and phytoremediation processes-with special reference to the Biological System of Chemical Elements (BSCE) under specific consideration of Lithium
With special reference to the Biological System of Chemical Elements (BSCE) under specific consideration
Different definitions for the concepts of information, information transfer, i.e. communication and its effect and efficiency of false, but also correct information, especially from the environmental sector, are given. "THE TEN ECOLOGICAL COMMANDMENTS"developed by Menke-Glückert

Background
In this work, a lutetium-177 (177Lu) production method based on the separation of nuclear isomers, 177mLu & 177Lu, is reported. The 177mLu-177Lu separation is performed by combining the use of DOTA & DOTA-labelled peptide (DOTATATE) and liquid-liquid extractio

Background: While alpha microdosimetry dates back a couple of decades, the effects of localized energy deposition of alpha particles are often still unclear since few comparative studies have been performed. Most modern alpha microdosimetry studies rely for large parts on simulat

Introduction: The use of 225Ac for alpha radionuclide therapy is a relatively novel approach, where the dense energy deposition of alpha radiation is used to treat cancer more effectively. 225Ac has, compared to conventional radionuclides, a long half-life of 10 days and a long d
