Inaccuracy localization and intrinsic radioresistance of solid tumors seriously hindered the clinical implementation of radiotherapy. In this study, we fabricated hyaluronic acid-functionalized gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (HA-Gd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NPs) via one-pot hydrothermal process for effective magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and radiosensitization of tumors. By virtue of HA functionalization, the as-prepared HA-Gd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NPs with a diameter of 105 nm showed favora ...[more]
