Leveraging Bio-Inspired Molecules for Cancer Theranostics
… molecules can be radiolabeled and delivered to a cancer site for the purposes of diagnostics and therapy. Among the most promising of tumor targeting molecules are peptides and antibodies. These bio-inspired molecules can be designed and synthesized to target and respond to cancer cells based on …

Development of Gold-Magnetite Hybrid Nanoparticles for Advanced Radiotherapy
The term “theranostics” defines the effort to develop individualized therapies by the combination of diagnostic and therapeutic functions in the same agent. Gold-magnetite hybrid nanoparticles (H-NPs) are proposed as innovative theranostic nanotools for imaging-guided radiosensitization of cancers. …

Development and Evaluation of Novel Anti-HER2 Theranostics Against HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
Breast cancer (BC) is the deadliest cancer type in women worldwide with high incidence (11.6%) and mortality (6.9%) rates. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in 20-30% of BC. HER2 overexpression is also observed in other cancers such as gastric/gastroesophageal, …
