Illuminating Insights: The Revelations of Activated Gold

Researchers at Waseda University have developed a groundbreaking imaging technique that enables real-time visualization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) within the body, eliminating the need for external tracers. Gold nanoparticles, known for their ability to accumulate in tumors, are promising carriers for targeted cancer therapy. The innovative approach involves neutron activation, which transforms stable gold into a detectable radioactive gold isotope, allowing for long-term tracking of these particles. Led by PhD student Nanase Koshikawa and Professor Jun Kataoka, and in collaboration with Osaka and Kyoto Universities, the study demonstrates the potential for enhanced drug delivery monitoring and improved cancer treatment efficacy. By combining AuNPs with a radio-therapeutic drug, the researchers achieved extended imaging capabilities that could significantly advance the field of nanomedicine and drug safety. The study’s findings were published in the journal Applied Physics Letters.
