fication per se can have quite different meanings. In general, quantification is described as …

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been shown to sensitize cancer cells to x-ray radiation,
particularly at kV energies where photoelectric interactions dominate and the high atomic …

The analysis of thin films is of central importance for functional materials, including the very
large and active field of nanomaterials. Quantitative elemental depth profiling is basic to …

In this work, an intercomparison of sensitization effects produced by gold (GNP) and dextran-
coated iron oxide (SPION-DX) nanoparticles in M059J and U87 human glioblastoma cells …

Understanding how nano-sized objects are taken up by cells is important for applications
within medicine (nanomedicine), as well as to avoid unforeseen hazard due to …

Nanoparticle radiosensitization has been demonstrated well to enhance the effects of
radiotherapy, motivate the improvement of therapeutic ratios, and decrease morbidity in …

Whether one wishes to optimise drug delivery using nano-sized carriers or avoid hazard
posed by engineered nanomaterials, the kinetics of nanoparticle uptake into human cells …

Gold nanoparticles have been proven as potential radiosensitizer when combined with
protons. Initially the radiosensitization effect was attributed to the physical interactions of …
