Nanoparticle-enhance radiotherapy and 3D tumour models

Tumoroid consisting of an artifi cial cancer mass (ACM):stromal surrounding GNP
concentration ratio 5:1, the ACM of approximate concentration 0.02 mgAu/mL. a) Microscopic
appearance (TEM) of tumoroid photographed in (b). The boundary between ACM and stroma
is evident as a difference in collagen density, the greatest difference in collagen greyscale
mapped as a dashed line to estimate the cancer/stromal boundary; collagen is more dense
within the ACM (above dashed line) and stromal collagen less dense (below dashed line).
GNP containing vesicles are visible within the cells
