RGD-conjugated gold nanorods induce radiosensitization in melanoma cancer cells by downregulating α(v)β(3) expression

BACKGROUND: Melanoma is known to be radioresistant and traditional treatments have been intractable. Therefore, novel approaches are required to improve the therapeutic efficacy of melanoma treatment. In our study, gold nanorods conjugated with Arg-Gly-Asp peptides (RGD-GNRs) were used as a sensitiz...
