Radiation therapy remains one of the main treatments for cancer. However, conventional radiotherapy not only manifests a low radiation accumulation in the tumor site, but also displays numerous negative effects. The most serious clinical problem is the radiotherapy resistance leading to cancer

The pharmacological action of vitamin E on the mechanical activity of isolated guinea pig colonic smooth muscle was examined in normoxic and hypoxic conditions. In hypoxia, but not normoxia, alpha-tocopherol (1-160 microM) evoked rapid concentration-dependent contractions from the colon. This was

Integrating radiation therapy with high-depth photothermal therapy in the second near-infrared (NIR) window is highly required for efficient treatment of deep-seated tumor cells. Here, we constructed a multifunctional nano-theranostic with bimetallic chalcogenide nanocrystals (NCs) functionalized

Curcumin (1,7-bis-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5dione) is a polyphenol extracted from turmeric that has long been advocated for the treatment of a variety of conditions including neurodegenerative and inflammatory disorders. Despite this promise, the clinical use of curcumin has been
