The Role of Transglutaminase 2 in the Radioresistance of Melanoma Cells
Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a protein expressed in many tissues that exerts numerous, sometimes contradictory, intra- and extracellular functions, under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Prostate cancer aggressiveness and financial toxicity among prostate cancer patients
Abstract Introduction Financial toxicity (FT) is a growing concern among cancer survivors that adversely affects the quality of life and survival. Individuals diagnosed with aggressive cancers are often at a greater risk of experiencing FT. The objectives of this study were to estimate FT among prostate cancer (PCa) survivors after 10−15 years of ...

What is the Potential Impact of the IsoDAR Cyclotron on Radioisotope Production: A Review [PDF]
The IsoDAR collaboration is developing a high-current cyclotron for a neutrino search experiment. Designed to deliver 10 mA of 60 MeV protons, the current and power of this cyclotron far exceed those of existing accelerators, opening new possibilities for the production of radiopharmaceutical isotopes, producing very high-activity samples in very short

Cyclotron-Based Production of 67Cu for Radionuclide Theranostics via the 70Zn(p,α)67Cu Reaction
Theranostic matched pairs of radionuclides have aroused interest during the last couple of years, and in that sense, copper is one element that has a lot to offer, and although 61Cu and 64Cu are slowly being established as diagnostic radionuclides for ...

Reducing kidney uptake of radiolabelled exendin-4 using variants of the renally cleavable linker MVK
Background Peptidic radiotracers are preferentially excreted through the kidneys, which often results in high persistent renal retention of radioactivity, limiting or even preventing therapeutic clinical translation of these radiotracers.

Abstract Objectives An increasing body of evidence indicates altered DNA methylation in Parkinson's disease, yet the reproducibility and utility of such methylation changes are largely unexplored. We aimed to further elucidate the role of dysregulated DNA methylation in Parkinson's disease and to evaluate the biomarker potential of methylation‐based ...

A projection-domain low-count quantitative SPECT method for alpha-particle emitting radiopharmaceutical therapy [PDF]
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) provides a mechanism to estimate regional isotope uptake in lesions and at-risk organs after administration of {\alpha}-particle-emitting radiopharmaceutical therapies ({\alpha}-RPTs). However, this estimation task is challenging due to the complex emission spectra, the very low number of detected ...

Overexpression of monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) has been shown for a variety of human cancers (e.g., colon, brain, breast, and kidney) and inhibition resulted in intracellular lactate accumulation, acidosis, and cell death. Thus, MCTs are promising

Early BMI Change, Cognitive Decline, and CSF AD Biomarkers Alterations in Parkinson's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the relationship of early BMI change with subsequent cognitive decline, CSF AD biomarkers alterations, and progression to dementia in patients with PD. Methods Study data were prospectively collected from the PPMI cohort. Weight/height data at enrollment and second‐year clinical visit were utilized to calculate BMI change.
