Theranostic radioiodine-labelled melanin nanoparticles inspired by clinical brachytherapy seeds

I also make it a good candidate as a cancer cell killer. The theranostic properties of this nanoparticle were also proved in a xenograft tumor model in vivo. In summary, this study provides a new concept for radioiodine labelling nanoparticles, which can be further investigated in various imaging and radiotherapy applications with different radioactive isotopes of iodine.
