Abstract

In article number 2000655, Po-Liang Lai, Hsing-Wen Sung, and co-workers present a hollow microsphere system that may function as an incubator for the generation and delivery of NO in a scavenger-free environment. Upon leaving the incubator, the NO molecules may passively diffuse through their protected-surfactant layer gradually to the tumor site, performing long-lasting radiosensitization.
