Design and optimization of imageable microspheres for locoregional cancer therapy
Scientific Reports volume 15, Article number: 27487 (2025)
Authors: Brenna Kettlewell, Andrea Armstrong, Kirill Levin, Riad Salem, Edward Kim, Robert J. Lewandowski, Alexander Loizides, Robert J. Abraham, Daniel Boyd

Mark's comments: This is a great application of mixture design for optimal formulation of a medical-grade glass. The researchers used Stat-Ease software tools to improve the properties of microspheres to an extent that their use can be extended to cancers beyond the current application to those located in the liver. Well done!
