Revolutionizing CT Imaging: Gold Nanoparticles with Biodegradable Polymer Encapsulation
Innovative CT contrast agent using biodegradable polymer-encapsulated gold nanoparticles for enhanced imaging and safe excretion. Problem: Gold particles emerged as promising contrasting agents due to their high X-ray attenuation, but their size-dependent behavior posed a challenge. Particles larger than 5nm raised toxicity concerns due to potential...

X-Ray Irradiation-Activated Hydrogel for Effective On-Demand Treatment of Glioblastoma and Other Tumors
Primary tumor reoccurrence often occurs following surgical resection in glioblastoma multiforme patients. Current hydrogel approaches deliver therapeutics using light or pH, but these approaches are limited by the tumor microenvironment. Researchers have developed an injectable hydrogel with unique materials that can be activated by X-ray irradiation...
