Radiosensitization of breast cancer cells using AS1411 aptamer-conjugated gold nanoparticles
Abstract Background Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been used to sensitize cancer cells and enhance the absorbed dose delivered to such cells. Active targeting can provide specific effect and higher uptake of the GNPs in the tumor cells, while having small effect on healthy cells. The aim of this stu...
