U87 cells were the least sensitive to gamma radiation, and increasingly sensitive to fast neutron irradiation, irradiation with the enhanced neutron beam and finally a significant enhancement in cell killing was observed for U87 cells preloaded with Magnevist. The sensitivity of U87 cells pre-loaded with Magnevist and then irradiated with the enhanced neutron beam can at least in part be attributed to the Auger electrons emitted by the neutron capture event.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
