    Recently, Liu Zhibo's group from the Center for Life published a research paper entitled "Boron encapsulated in a liposome can be used for combinational neutron capture therapy" in Nature Communications( DOI : https://doi.



    Figure 1.


    Boron - 10 captures thermal neutrons, and the alpha particles produced by the neutron nuclear reaction release all their energy over a very short distance ( 5-9 microns, about the radius of a human cell) and kill the cell


    In this work, the authors linked a carborane with high stability, hydrophobicity and high boron content to the side chain of phosphatidylcholine, and the obtained boronated phospholipid structure assembled to form a new class of boron-containing lipids body, namely boronsome
