Synthesising nucleoside analogues for imaging proliferation in cancer and other biomedical applications

Rapidly proliferating cells, such as cancerous cells, show increased reliance on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) salvage pathways for producing nucleotides required for DNA synthesis. As such targeting these salvage pathways using radiolabelled nucleosides can provide a means of imaging the extent of pr...
