Article Synopsis
- Prussian blue effectively treats radiocaesium and thallium poisoning, with its nanoparticles (PBNPs) showing promise in binding radioactive thallium for nuclear medicine.
- Understanding the interaction between thallium and PBNPs is key to enhancing their performance and stability in medical applications.
- This study reveals that thallium ions can significantly alter the ionic composition of PBNPs without compromising their structural integrity, paving the way for tailored designs in nuclear medicine.
The splitting of atoms, also known as nuclear fission, is the physics behind radiation and radioactivity. Dr Lise Meitner discovered how radioactivity could be produced in 1939. She realised firing a small particle present in the nucleus of all atoms, a neutron, at another atom could release energy in the form of radiation.

The overarching feeling then was that no individual or organisation has taken up the challenge, nationally or internationally, of championing molecular targeted radionuclide therapy in all its aspects. Here, we report on the recent NCRI-CTRad (Clinical Trials in Molecular Radiotherapy-Tribulations and Triumphs) meeting, held in London on the 8 June 2018.
