3D Experiment Updates: Exciting New Results!

The 3D scaffold bioprinting experiments for the ISOLPHARM project started at the beginning of 2024 with some geometry printing tests, where GelMa was cured under a DLP homemade printer with the main task of testing the printing resolution of the instrument. At the end of October the first test where the ink was a mixture…

First clonogenic assay using silver-111

In October 2024, the ISOLPHARM collaboration successfully performed the first clonogenic survival evaluation using silver-111 on cancer cells. In particular, the UMR-106 rat osteosarcoma cell line was tested. This result represents a first important experimental milestone reached by the ISOLPHARM radiobiology community, which includes groups from the Universities of Pavia (with the LENA facility), Padova,…

First in-vivo image with silver-111

At the CAPiR lab of Catania a solution containing Ag-111 was injected in mice. The Bruker In-Vivo Xtreme was then used to acquire digital autoradiography images after several time points. This is the first time in which the collaboration acquires in-vivo images through the Ag-111 radiation.
