متن کاملRadiosensitization effect of ZnO nanoparticles in lung cancer cells at clinically relevant megavoltage energy
Introduction: Radiation therapy is one of the major modalities that have long been used in cancer treatment. Radiotherapy is often accompanied by early and late toxicity and side effects and narrow therapeutic window. Similarity in radiation absorption properties of tumors and neighboring healthy tissues is often the reason for low specificity of radiation therapy. Development ...
متن کاملCisplatin-loaded superparamagnetic nanoparticles modified with PCL-PEG copolymers as a treatment of A549 lung cancer cells
Magnetic nanoparticles have been highly regarded because of their unique properties, such as hyperthermia, medicine control release, and diagnostic applications. The main aim of the current paper is to offer a new system for the modification of Fe3O4 (SPIONs) superparamagnetic nanoparticles physically and chemically with polymers through physical retention. These modified nanoparticles have bee...
متن کاملNanoparticle-based targeted gene therapy for lung cancer.
Despite striking insights on lung cancer progression, and cutting-edge therapeutic approaches the survival of patients with lung cancer, remains poor. In recent years, targeted gene therapy with nanoparticles is one of the most rapidly evolving and extensive areas of research for lung cancer. The major goal of targeted gene therapy is to bring forward a safe and efficient treatment to cancer pa...
متن کاملStudy of Apoptotic Properties of Silver Nanoparticles Green Synthesized Using Amaranthus cruentus Extract in Breast Cancer Cells (MDA)
Introduction: There are different treatment methods for cancer therapy, including surgical, anatomy, biopsy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but the side effects of these methods as well as their inefficiency for complete omission of cancer have led researchers to find a way to safety remove cells and cancerous tumors. The aim of this study was evaluation of cytotoxicity effects and apoptotic pr...
