Shape-Driven Response of Gold Nanoparticles to X-rays

Shape-Driven Response of Gold Nanoparticles to X-rays

Radiotherapy (RT) involves delivering X-ray beams to the tumor site to trigger DNA damage. In this approach, it is fundamental to preserve healthy cells and to confine the X-ray beam only to the malignant cells. The integration of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the X-ray methodology could be consider...
