Biological Pathways as Substantiation of the Use of Copper Radioisotopes in Cancer Theranostics

Biological Pathways as Substantiation of the Use of Copper Radioisotopes in Cancer Theranostics

Copper, a cofactor for many enzymes, is a bioelement that is involved in many main biochemical processes; although high levels of copper promote the proliferation of cancer cells. Further development of radiopharmaceuticals based on copper radioisotopes depend on understanding and taking advantage o...
