Wei Deng,Wenjie Chen,Sandhya Clement,Sandhya Clement,Anna Guller,Zhenjun Zhao,Alexander Engel,Ewa M. Goldys,Ewa M. Goldys +8 more
TL;DR: The work indicates the feasibility of a combinatorial treatment and possible synergistic effects in the course of standard radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy delivered via X-ray-triggered liposomes delivered via gold nanoparticles and photosensitizer verteporfin.
Metal-enhanced fluorescence in the life sciences: here, now and beyond
TL;DR: The phenomenon of enhanced fluorescence in the proximity of metal nanostructures addressing the question of how much fluorescence signal can be obtained from fluorophores in such altered environments is discussed.

X-ray induced singlet oxygen generation by nanoparticle-photosensitizer conjugates for photodynamic therapy: determination of singlet oxygen quantum yield
TL;DR: The feasibility of using X- or γ- ray activated nanoparticle-photosensitizer conjugates, either to supplement the radiation treatment of cancer, or as an independent treatment modality, is confirmed.
