"Endocurietherapy" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Endocurietherapy is a type of treatment that combines external beam radiation therapy with internal radiation treatment, typically using a radioactive seed implant. In endocurietherapy, small radioactive seeds are implanted into the tumor or surrounding tissue, where they release a controlled amount of radiation to the surrounding area over a period of time. This combination of external and internal radiation can help to more effectively target and destroy cancer cells.
Endocytosis is a type of cellular uptake that involves the formation of small vesicles from the cell membrane to engulf and internalize molecules or particles from the outside environment. This process occurs in response to cellular signals, nutrients, hormones, or pathogens, and plays a crucial role in numerous cellular functions, such as regulating the concentration of ions and small molecules, recycling receptors, and controlling cell-cell communication. There are two main types of endocytosis: phagocytosis, which involves the engulfment of large particles or cells, and pinocytosis, which involves the uptake of small molecules or fluids.
