The presence of Auger electrons (AE) among the decay products of a number of
radionuclides makes these radionuclides an attractive means for treating cancer because …

This review describes artificial modular nanotransporters (MNTs) delivering their cargos into
target cells and then into the nuclei–the most vulnerable cell compartment for most …

Background This study evaluates the potential utility of a modular nanotransporter (MNT) for
enhancing the nuclear delivery and cytotoxicity of the Auger electron emitter 125 I in cancer …

Background Auger electron emitters that can be targeted into DNA of tumour cells represent
an attractive systemic radiation therapy goal. In the situation of DNA-associated decay, the …

Auger electron emitters are considered to be a promising strategy for targeted radionuclide
therapy of metastatic diseases, given their high linear energy transfer (LET) and short range …

This paper outlines the evolution of the current rationale for research into the biological
effects of tissue-incorporated Auger electron emitters. The first section is a brief review of the …

Auger-emitting radionuclides have potential for the therapy of cancer due to their high level
of cytotoxicity and short-range biological effectiveness. Biological effects are critically …

Radiopharmaceuticals labeled with low-energy electron emitters have several key
advantages over traditional agents that emit higher-energy particles. Sadly, the majority of …

Gamma-ray emitting 111In, which is extensively used for imaging, is also a source of short-
range Auger electrons (AE). While exhibiting negligible effect outside cells, these AE …

Abstract Background Auger electrons (AEs) are very low energy electrons that are emitted
by radionuclides that decay by electron capture (eg 111 In, 67 Ga, 99m Tc, 195m Pt, 125 I …
