Wireless on-demand drug delivery systems exploit exogenous stimuli—acoustic waves,
electric fields, magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation—to trigger drug carriers. The …

Achieving effective treatment of deep-seated tumors is a major challenge for traditional
photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to difficulties in delivering light into the subsurface. Thanks …

Nanoparticles of heavy elements can be used as radiosensitizers to enhance X-ray radiation
therapy, but a major roadblock in translating nanoparticle radiosensitizers into clinical …

The suitability of graphene oxide (GO) foils as radiation sensitive materials for soft X-ray
irradiation is investigated by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In particular …

X-ray and ultrasound waves are widely employed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in
clinic. Recently, they have been demonstrated to be ideal excitation sources that activate …

Dosimetry of ionising radiation is a well-established and mature branch of physical sciences
with many applications in medicine and biology. In particular radiotherapy relies on …

Antimicrobial resistance is a significant and growing concern. To continue to treat even
simple infections, there is a pressing need for new alternative and complementary …

Introduction The accuracy of dose delivered to tumors and surrounding normal tissues is
vital in either radiotherapy using low energy photons and radiological techniques as well as …

Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide. Cancer-resistant to chemo or radiotherapy
treatment is a challenge that could be overcome by a nanotechnology approach. Providing a …
