Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) as radiosensitizers in human melanoma cells (A-375) in combination with gamma radiation.
- SPIONs were synthesized, characterized, and shown to increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the cells without causing toxicity.
- The combination of SPIONs and gamma irradiation led to significant DNA damage, with a notable decrease in the repair capacity of double-strand breaks compared to cells treated only with radiation.
