In spite of antibiotics, antibacterial agents or specifically known as antiseptics are actively
explored for the prevention of infection-associated medical devices. Antibacterial agents are …

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 …

Tumor response to radiotherapy or ferroptosis is closely related to hydroxyl radical (• OH)
production. Noninvasive imaging of• OH fluctuation in tumors can allow early monitoring of …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown great effectiveness in oncotherapy but has not
been implemented in broad clinical applications because the limited penetration depth of …

Over the last decade, a growing interest in the improvement of radiation therapies has led to
the development of gold-based nanomaterials as radiosensitizer. Although the …

X-ray-based analytics are routinely applied in many fields, including physics, chemistry,
materials science, and engineering. The full potential of such techniques in the life sciences …

This roadmap outlines the potential roles of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) in the field of
radiation therapy. MNPs made up of a wide range of materials (from Titanium, Z= 22, to …

Nanoparticle-based radioenhancement is a promising strategy for extending the therapeutic
ratio of radiotherapy. While (pre) clinical results are encouraging, sound mechanistic …

Radiotherapy is a key pillar of solid cancer treatment. Despite a high level of conformal dose
deposition, radiotherapy is limited due to co-irradiation of organs at risk and subsequent …

This roadmap reviews the new, highly interdisciplinary research field studying the behavior
of condensed matter systems exposed to radiation. The Review highlights several recent …
