Magipics has produced a biomedical animation for the PeterMacCallum Cancer Centre. The animation describes the principles of PSMA Theranostics or ProsTIC, a treatment method for Prostate cancer. Briefly, this method involves targeting Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), a unique marker found on the surface of prostate cancer cells. Utilizing radioactive particles conjugated to a molecule that binds only to PSMA, the cancer cells can be detected and destroyed.

Here is the animation as it appears on the PeterMac website: https://www.petermac.org/research/ProsTIC/about-prostic

It has also been published in the Daily Telegraph: https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/breakthrough-techniques-for-treating-prostate-cancer/video/837cb2edb12f568bb5f9cfe16094a039
