TAE Life Sciences is developing a next-generation boron neutron capture therapy for cancer. After recently introducing Alphabeam, a compact and affordable accelerator-based neutron system suitable for hospital settings, the company is now focusing on the development of novel boron drugs with improved tumor selectivity and increased 10B loads.

VIDEO: Explaining Boron Neutron Capture Therapy for Targeted Cancer Radiotherapy
Bruce Bauer, Ph.D., CEO of TAE Life Sciences. The company is developing boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) as a new radiation therapy for cancer. A patient is first infused with a non-toxic boron-10 compound, which selectively accumulates in tumor tissue. A neutron beam is then focused on the tumor and the neutrons are captured by the boron and causes emission of alpha radiation particles within the tumor.
RaySearch and TAE Life Sciences Announce Agreement on RayStation Support for the Alphabeam System for BNCT
BNCT is a biologically targeted radiation therapy that kills cancer at the cellular level. The technique uses a two-step process. In the first step, patients are injected with a tumor-targeting drug that contains non-toxic and non-radioactive boron-10.

Tiny Yet Mighty: Nanotechnology in Radiation Therapy
Nanotechnology is the application of extremely small things—a nanometer is one billionth of a meter—used in science, engineering and technology. It involves the ability to view and control individual atoms and molecules and has been used in designing new therapeutics and diagnostics in medicine. As such, interest is mounting to harness nanotechnology’s potential to enhance radiation therapy and advance cancer care.
