The remarkable progress of nanotechnology and its application in biomedicine have greatly
expanded the ranges and types of biomaterials from traditional organic material‐based …

Nano‐radiosensitization has been a hot concept for the past ten years, and the nanomaterial‐
mediated tumor radiosensitization method is mainly focused on increasing intracellular …

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 …

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 …

Acquired radiation resistance is one of the major causes of radio therapy failure and
subsequent tumor relapse. Multiple approaches have been utilized to limit the radiation …

The effectiveness of radiotherapy can decrease due to inaccurate positioning of machinery
and inherent radioresistance of tumors. To address this issue, we present a novel …

Improved understanding of interactions between nanoparticles and biological systems is
needed to develop safety standards and to design new generations of nanomaterials. This …

In the frame of radiotherapy treatment of cancer, radioresistance remains a major issue that
still needs solutions to be overcome. To effectively improve the radiosensitivity of tumors and …

Nanoparticles containing high-Z elements are known to boost the efficacy of radiation
therapy. Gadolinium (Gd) is particularly attractive because this element is also a positive …

We previously reported the synthesis of gadolinium-based nanoparticles (NPs) denoted
AGuIX (activation and guiding of irradiation by X-ray) NPs and demonstrated their potential …
