To enhance the biological effects of radiation damage in cancerous cells, we present an alternative approach to the use of
gold nanoparticles (AuNP), focusing on the synthesis and characterization of highly monodisperse, spherical radioactive
gold nanoparticles 198AuNP. The size of the AuNP size was optimized with the help of Geant4/TOPAS particle...
Calcium phosphates are biomaterials widely used in bone tissue engineering. In recent years, the alternative of obtaining these materials with antimicrobial properties, has been explored due to the multiple advantages that this would imply in the design of devices or implants that prevent the failure of these associated with bacterial colonization....
Dose enhancement by gold nanoparticles (AuNP) increases the biological effectiveness of radiation damage in biomolecules and tissue. To apply them effectively during cancer therapy their influence on the locally delivered dose has to be determined.
Hereby, the AuNP locations strongly influence the energy deposit in the nucleus, mitochondria, membra...
Dose enhancement by gold nanoparticles (AuNP) was shown to increase the biological effectiveness of radiation damage in biomolecules and tissue. Most of the current studies focus on external beam therapy on combination with AuNP. Here we present a Monte-Carlo study (Geant4) to characterise radioactive AuNP. Radioactive ¹⁹⁸Au emits beta and gamma ra...
