Open AccessTerbium-149 production: a focus on yield and quality improvement towards preclinical application
Terbium-149 (T1/2 = 4.1 h, Eα = 3.98 MeV (16.7%), 28 µm range in tissue) is a radionuclide with potential for targeted alpha therapy. Due to the negligible emission of α-emitting daughter nuclides, toxicity to he...

Open AccessThe effect of mycophenolate mofetil on podocytes in nephrotoxic serum nephritis
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is applied in proteinuric kidney diseases, but the exact mechanism of its effect on podocytes is still unknown. Our previous in vitro experiments suggested that MMF can ameliorate p...
