Researchers shed light on interactions of radionuclides with kidney cells
Researchers at the Helmholtz Centre Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and TU Dresden have investigated the effects of radionuclides on kidney cells.

These elements, which are released by environmental processes or industrial activities, can be harmful to health if ingested. The focus was on barium(II), europium(III) and uranium(VI), which were tested under controlled laboratory conditions. The study showed that these heavy metals affect cell structure and cell function. Such findings are important for the development of decorporation agents that can safely remove radionuclides from the body. This could help to reduce the risks posed by environmental pollution and medical applications.
