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

Lanthanides refer to the 15 elements located at the sixth period and IIIB group in the periodic
table, ranging from lanthanum to lutetium, with the electronic configuration of [Xe] 4f n–1 5d …

Radiotherapy is one of the major therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment. In the past
decade, there has been growing interest in using high Z (atomic number) elements …

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) have shown promise as catalytic antioxidants in the
test tube, cell culture models and animal models of disease. However given the reactivity …

Promising results have been obtained using cerium (Ce) oxide nanoparticles (CNPs) as
antioxidants in biological systems. CNPs have unique regenerative properties owing to their …

This review focuses on the radiosensitization strategies that use high-Z nanoparticles. It
does not establish an exhaustive list of the works in this field but rather propose constructive …

Enhancement of radiation effects by high-atomic number nanoparticles (NPs) has been
increasingly studied for its potential to improve radiotherapeutic efficacy. The underlying …

The interest in using the polymer-coated gold nanoparticles (P-AuNPs) for various
biomedical applications, including the delivery of chemotherapeutic in cancer has been …

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) possess enormous biological activity, wherein
many aspects related to the biological properties of nanoceria still remain unclear. In the …

In this study we present an overview of the recent results of a novel approach to antioxidant
and anticancer therapies, consisting in the administration of intrinsically active nano …
