Radiation treatments often unfavorably damage neighboring healthy organs and cause a series of radiation sequelae, such as radiationâinduced hematopoietic system diseases, radiationâinduced gastrointestinal diseases, radiationâinduced lung diseases, and radiationâinduced skin diseases. Recently, emerging nanomaterials have exhibited good superiority for these radiationâinduced disease treatments. Given this background, the rational design principle of nanomaterials, which helps to optimize the therapeutic efficiency, has been an increasing need. Consequently, it is of great significance to perform a systematic summarization of the advances in this field, which can trigger the development of new highâperformance nanoradioprotectors with drug efficiency maximization. Herein, this review highlights the advances and perspectives in the rational design of nanomaterials for preventing and treating various common radiationâinduced diseases. Furthermore, the sources, clinical symptoms, and pathogenesis/injury mechanisms of these radiationâinduced diseases will also be introduced. Furthermore, current challenges and directions for future efforts in this field are also discussed.
