Technology.am (Sept. 17, 2009) — Tiny particles of albumin, a protein found in the blood, can be used to carry radioactive isotopes to the site of a cancerous tumour in the body and so avoid many of the side-effects of conventional radiotherapy.
Virginia Nazarica Borza, Elena Neacsu and Catalina Mihaela Barna of the “Horia Hulubei” National Institute of R&D for Physics and Nuclear Engineering, in Bucharest, Romania, report details of the preparation of human serum albumin nanospheres labelled with rhenium-188 radioisotope, in the current issue of the International Journal of Nanotechnology and Biomaterials.
Drug-delivery agents that can target the site of disease in the body have often been referred to “magic bullets”.
