Low-dose ionizing radiations are commonly utilized in medical centers for diagnostic
imaging procedures. Unfortunately, the absorption of ionizing radiation generates reactive …

Simple Summary Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) influence its environment by
donating or accepting electrons readily. We investigated nanoceria's ability to modify the …

Abstract 754 Background: Selective or preferential protection of normal tissues is an
attractive and potential approach to improve radiotherapy of cancer patients. Currently, we …

At the onset of radiation exposure, free radicals are formed through ionizing reactions that
are then capable of destroying normal tissues. While cells release a level of protective …

Cerium oxide nanomaterials are known to absorb ionizing radiation energy, as well as to
neutralize free radicals in solution, by undergoing redox changes. We, therefore, proposed …

Cerium oxide nanoparticles have been shown to sensitize cancer cells to radiation damage.
Their unique redox properties confer excellent therapeutic potential by augmenting radiation …

Cancer presents a significant medical challenge that requires effective management.
Current cancer treatment options, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiotherapy …

Optimal distribution of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) or nanoceria can have a
significant impact on their cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, and radioprotection effects. In this …

In an effort to combat the harmful effects of radiation exposure, we propose that rare-earth
cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles (free-radical scavengers) protect normal tissue from …

Results Cell viability and cell death assays showed that CeO 2 protected 99% of normal
breast cells from radiation-induced cell death (RICD), whereas breast cancer cells were not …
