Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a new drug delivery method which deliver boron into cancer cells. The method showed an efficient delivery of 10B into cultured Glioblastoma and Mammary cancer cell lines. The efficiency and the specificity were higher for cancer stem cells than ordinary cancer cells. We further developed molecular agent for PET imaging of boron compound.
