Radiotherapy (RT), including external beam RT and internal radiation therapy, uses high-
energy ionizing radiation to kill tumor cells. However, ionizing radiation inevitably damages …

In cancer, angiogenesis is a critical phenomenon of nascent blood vessel development to
facilitate the oxygen and nutrient supply prerequisite for tumor progression. Therefore …

In recent years, the intersection of the academic and medical domains has increasingly
spotlighted the utilization of biomaterials in radioactive disease treatment and radiation …

Oxidative stress‐induced off‐target effects limit the therapeutic window of radiation therapy.
Although many antioxidants have been evaluated as radioprotective agents, none of them …

Spin probes can be used to monitor biological membranes, including the penetration of
different molecules into cells. The aim of the present studies was an investigation of the …

The search for potent radiation-protective drugs for clinical use continues. Studies have, so
far, focused on targeting the neutralization of radiation-generated reactive oxygen species …

Magnetic nanoparticles are of great interest to scientists as potential drug carriers.
Therefore, it is essential to analyze the processes these nanoparticles undergo at the …

Free radicals, more often simply called 'radicals', are broadly recognised as being highly
reactive, extremely short-lived species. Radicals typically undergo relatively non-selective …

This chapter is dedicated to electron spin resonance (ESR) applications in healthcare and
pharmacy. In the first part, sterilization methods applied in these two areas are briefly …

Biomaterials. On that occasion, the society published a collection of featured articles entitled
“40th anniversary of Japanese Society for Biomaterials,” which included past and current …
