Abstract Background Auger electrons (AEs) are very low energy electrons that are emitted
by radionuclides that decay by electron capture (eg 111 In, 67 Ga, 99m Tc, 195m Pt, 125 I …

The potential of α-particle emitters to treat cancer has been recognized since the early
1900s. Advances in the targeted delivery of radionuclides and radionuclide conjugation …

Radionuclide decay by electron capture and/or internal conversion is accompanied by
complex atomic vacancy cascades and emission of low-energy electrons, resulting in a …

Abstract Bishayee, A., Rao, DV, Bouchet, LG, Bolch, WE and Howell, RW Protection by
DMSO against Cell Death Caused by Intracellularly Localized Iodine-125, Iodine-131 and …

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was studied for its capacity to protect against the biological
effects of chronic irradiation by incorporated radionuclides. Spermatogenesis in mice was …

Cell survival, induction of apoptosis, and micronucleus formation have been examined in
non-transformed human amnion fluid fibroblast-like (AFFL) cells and in a human squameous …

The mechanisms by which DNA-incorporated radionuclides impart lethal damage to
mammalian cells were investigated by examining the capacity of cysteamine (MEA) to …

To examine the capacity of chemical protectors to mitigate damage caused by chronic
irradiation by incorporated radionuclides in vitro, cells must be maintained in the presence of …

The radiobiological effect of intracellularly localised radionuclides emitting low energy
electrons (Auger electrons) has received much attention. Most in vivo studies reported have …

Most radionuclides used for diagnostic imaging emit Auger electrons (technetium-99m,
iodine-123, indium-111, gallium-67 and thallium-201). Their very short range in biological …
