Deskripsi
Radionuclides that emit alpha particles (charged helium nuclei) are currently used clinically to treat cancers including prostate cancer. Here, the authors combine a humanized antibody to an alpha particle emitter, specifically to target a downstream effector of the androgen receptor and create a feed forward loop that increases the therapeutic efficacy.
