Terbium-161 is already being tested as an anti-cancer drug in several clinical trials - the PSI researchers have now for the first time scrutinised it as a potential treatment for lymphoma.

Word origin: Terbium was named for the village of Ytterby, Sweden (as was yttrium, erbium and ytterbium). You may like Scientists create ultra-tough copper alloy that is stronger than steel and ...

This new radionuclide is terbium-161. Linked to a ligand that recognizes proteins on tumor cells, the radioactive molecule is guided to exactly where the radiation dose is needed. These drugs—known as ...

A new luminescent sensor can detect terbium, a valuable rare earth element, from complex environmental samples like acid mine waste. The sensor, developed by researchers at Penn State, takes ...

Terbium, a rare earth metal that belongs to the lanthanoids, has been detected on KELT-9, the galaxy’s hottest exoplanet, which orbits its distant star about 670 light years from earth. In a new ...

Terbium-161 is already being tested as an anti-cancer drug in several clinical trials; the PSI researchers have now scrutinized it as a potential treatment for lymphoma.

The radiopharmaceutical consists of a radioactive molecule – in this case terbium-161 linked to a ligand. This ligand recognises proteins on the tumour cell, allowing highly targeted cancer ...
