Published in Cancer Weekly, February 15th, 2011
2011 FEB 15 -- Fresh data on Materials Science are presented in the report 'Preparation and complex characterization of silica holmium sol-gel monoliths.' "Amorphous, sol-gel derived SiO(2) are known to biocompatible and bioresorbable materials. Biodegradable and inert materials containing radioactive isotopes have potential application as delivery vehicles of the beta radiation to the cancer tumors inside the body," scientists in Turku, Finland report.
"Incorporation of holmium in the sol-gel derived SiO(2) could lead to the formation of a biodegradable material which could be used as carrier biomaterial for the radiation of radioactive holmium to the...
