Biological Response of Human Cancer Cells to Ionizing Radiation in Combination with Gold Nanoparticles

Biological Response of Human Cancer Cells to Ionizing Radiation in Combination with Gold Nanoparticles

In the context of improving radiation therapy, high-atomic number (Z) metallic nanoparticles and, more importantly, gold-based nanostructures are developed as radiation enhancers/radiosensitizers. Due to the diversity of cell lines, nanoparticles, as well as radiation types or doses, the resulting b...
