GNP-mediated radiation therapy in a synchronized vs. unsynchronized (control) tumor cell population. a Experimental survival fractions of cells treated with 2 Gy radiation dose. Data are “mean ± SD” for n = 3. *Represents a statistically significant difference (unpaired t test, p < 0.05). b Estimation of the improvement in tumor cell killing for a hypothetical treatment plan based on the experimental survival fractions. A tumor population was given 30 fractions of 2 Gy dose over a period of time under different conditions: unsynchronized (no GNPs), unsynchronized (with LNP–GNPs), synchronized (no GNPs), and synchronized (with LNP–GNPs)
