Chemical agent 223 fights for women's health 💚 Today we want to tell you about the development of Polytechnic scientists - radiopharmaceutical based on radium-223 isotope, which can be used to treat breast cancer. Particles of this substance have long been used in medicine to fight metastases in prostate cancer. Polytechnics are learning how to redirect the action of the isotope to the right part of the body to fight cancer. In their study, they placed Ra-223 in a calcium carbonate capsule and sent it on a mission: to destroy metastases. In doing so, the scientists looked to see which would do a better job with the mission: microparticles or nanoparticles 🤓 It turned out that putting radium into a calcium capsule can be done by simple absorption, which requires no additional equipment. The solution with the isotope is mixed with calcium carbonate, and after a while the carrier absorbs it without any manipulation, which means that the drug production process will be simple and economical.
