X-ray-responsive selenium nanoparticles for enhanced cancer chemo-radiotherapy

X-ray-responsive nanomaterials: an X-ray responsive selenium nanoparticles (PEG-SeNPs) were facilely fabricated through PEG-templated synthesis method and identified as synergistic cancer chemoradiation agent for cancers through enhancement of ROS generation, which may provide a novel strategy for design of chemo-radiotherapeutic nanomaterials.
