  • atoms per nucleotide. The nanoparticles showed high thermal stability with the onset of thermal degradation between 80 and 90 °C and remained structurally stable at 4 °C storage for months. Clonogenic assays in FaDu cells demonstrated radiosensitization, with a dose enhancement ratio of 1.17 ± 0.07 at
  • . These platinated DNA nanoparticles represent a promising platform for further development of scalable DNA-based radiosensitizers with high drug loading, monodispersity, stability, and versatility for further functionalization. Keywords: AFM; cisplatin; DNA nanostructures; radiosensitization
  • the potential of the platinated DNA nanoparticles in this context. A proof-of-concept radiosensitization assay was employed by using the FaDu cell line, a model for head and neck cancer. Survival fractions were plotted as a function of radiation dose (Figure 6). The resulting survival curves were
