Malignant melanoma has the highest mortality rate among skin cancers due to its aggressiveness and metastatic potential, and early diagnosis is important because treatment options are limited. We synthesized a brominated benzamide derivative labeled with 68Ga and evaluated its biological properties as a PET imaging probe.

A Novel Venom-Derived Peptide for Brachytherapy of Glioblastoma: Preclinical Studies in Mice
We developed a bacterial expression system to produce a recombinant disintegrin, vicrostatin (VCN), whose structure is based on a natural disintegrin isolated from southern copperhead snake venom.

Copper in cancer: friend or foe? Metabolism, dysregulation, and therapeutic opportunities
Abstract Copper, one of the essential nutrients for the human body, acts as an electron relay in multiple pathways due to its redox properties. Both deficiencies and excesses of copper lead to cellular fragility. Therefore, it can manifest pro‐ and anti‐cancer properties in tumors. Therefore, it is crucial to clarify the copper activity within the cell.

An analytic model to calculate Voxel S-Values for $^{177}$Lu [PDF]
Objective: $^{177}$Lu is one of the most employed isotopes in targeted radionuclide therapies and theranostics, and 3D internal dosimetry for such procedures has great importance. Voxel S-Values (VSVs) approach is widely used for this purpose, but VSVs are available for a limited number of voxel dimensions.

Highly water‐soluble Npy‐sulfenate functions as an efficient oxidizing agent for the formation of disulfide bonds in thiol‐containing peptides. The Npy‐sulfenate can be used to form a disulfide bond with a thiol‐containing peptide produced by thiol‐additive‐free NCL, thereby facilitating the one‐pot synthesis of adrenomedullin.
