Figure 3. — Membrane HSP70–targeting gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in combination with ionizing irradiation for tumour therapy. Functionalization of AuNPs with tumour-targeting ligands increases the tumour-targeting potential of these nanoparticles. Sensitization of tumour cells against ionizing irradiation is attributed to the production of low energy (Auger and Coster–Kronig) electrons, secondary electrons, MV photons through Compton scattering and Rayleigh scattering.
