Effective delivery of radiopharmaceuticals, chemotherapeutic, hormonal and biological pharmaceuticals to the tumor tissue and cancer cells selectively continue to be the most vexing problems in cancer oncology. Radioactive nanoparticles with diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities provide intelligent drug delivery systems to maximize therapeutic activity and to minimize undesirable...

Endogenous D-serine is a co-transmitter of glutamate for synaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs). Receptor affinity for binding D-serine versus glycine depends on its GluN2 subunit composition. For the activation of NMDARs glutamate binds to the GluN2 subunit of the receptor and a second ligand binds to the GluN1 subunit. D-serine is an endogenous ligand for the glycine site of the...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging modality that allows in-vivo studies of physiological and biochemical processes on molecular level. Radiolabeled flumazenil analogues are important radiopharmaceuticals for the assessment of the central benzodiazepine receptors (cBZR) density by PET. These receptors play an important role in many neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as...

Targeted alpha particle therapy (TAT) is very powerfull tool against cancer, since DNA double-strand breaks caused by alpha radiation induce cells death.
Main advantage of radionuclides decaying by alpha particle cascade in a short-lived chain is the deposition of high energy in very small volume (approx. 27 MeV in the case of 223-Ra).
However main disadvantage of such in vivo generator is...
