Engineered injectable alginate hydrogel for radiotherapy spacing: Achieving controllable degradation and real-time imaging tracking

Radiation therapy, a core cancer treatment, uses high-energy rays to kill tumor cells but damages surrounding healthy tissues, limiting efficacy and causing side effects. Thus, protecting normal tissues is key to better radiotherapy outcomes. Spacers form a physical barrier between normal and tumor...
