Radiotherapy and inhibition of the EGF family as treatment strategies for prostate cancer: combining theragnostics with theragates [PDF]
Prostate cancer is one of the most common solid tumors affecting men. Localized stages can be cured, however, once disseminated to distant organs the median survival drops below 12 months. The challenge for the future consists of unifying gained insights

Advances in PSMA Alpha Theragnostics [PDF]
Alpha theranostics offer an attractive alternative form of therapy, which has best been investigated and documented with 225Ac-PSMA in patients with prostate cancer. Advantages offered by targeted alpha therapy include overcoming radiation resistance, oxygen independence, effecting double-stranded DNA breakages within the tumors with anticipated ...

Novel insights into peptide amidation and amidating activity in the human circulation
C-terminal α-amidation is the final and essential step in the biosynthesis of several peptide hormones. Peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase (PAM) is the only known enzyme to catalyse this reaction.
