Abstract

The research outcomes reported throughout this thesis provides a novel contribution to the development of CeO2 NPs as a radioprotection adjuvant to radiotherapy. The development of an in-vitro model enabled investigations of the biocompatibility of nanoceria and its subsequent efficacy to provide radiation protection to cells exposed with X-ray radiation sources.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a thesis, done in cell cultures (in vitro), not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
