To establish, for the first time, a biomimetic nanobrachytherapy platform using radioactive gold nanoparticles coated with PANC-1 cell membrane m198AuNP. This study evaluates their physicochemical properties, nanoscale dose deposition, and feasibility for sel...
To synthesize gold nanoparticles Au197 and Au198 and to evaluate their interaction with MCF-7 breast cancer cells using imaging techniques based on Raman spectroscopy and CLSM Confocal Microscopy.
The simultaneous production of iodine-125 (¹²⁵I) and iodine-126 (¹²⁶I) during neutron irradiation directly impacts radionuclidic purity and clinical applicability of brachytherapy seeds. This study evaluated the dependence of ¹²⁵I and ¹²⁶I generation on irrad...
Radiosynovectomy (RSV) is a minimally invasive therapeutic option for the treatment of chronic synovitis, with yttrium-90 (⁹⁰Y) being particularly suitable for large joints such as the knee. In Brazil, national production of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals r...
To develop and characterize a flexible silica-silicone composite incorporating phosphoric acid-impregnated silica to improve phosphorus-32 immobilization and leachability control for plesiobrachytherapy applications.
