Researchers have identified non-toxic nanoparticles that can make radiotherapy more affordable and also minimize its side-effects in cancer treatment. An international team, led by Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), studied alternatives to gold particles, such as bismuth-based nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles have been shown to concentrate radiation used in cancer but are highly expensive and mildly toxic, according to an RMIT statement. ...Sunday, 2 December 2012
