Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed superparamagnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4 and CoFe2O4) that can enhance the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after X-ray treatment by using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for better biocompatibility and stability.
- These nanoparticles were synthesized through a specific technique and characterized using several advanced methods to ensure their proper functionality in cellular environments.
- The study found that when these SAM-stabilized nanoparticles were exposed to X-rays, they significantly increased ROS levels in cancer cells (MCF-7) without affecting healthy cells (HUVECs), indicating their potential effectiveness in improving radiation therapy outcomes.
