Copper-based nanocapsules enhance radiotherapy effectiveness

In a study published in Nature Nanotechnology ("A cuproptosis nanocapsule for cancer radiotherapy"), Prof. GU Zhanjun from the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Dr. YAN Junfang and Dr. ZHANG Fuquan from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, discovered that cuproptosis may serve as a new target for radiosensitization in re-irradiation.
