Cytotoxicity of Nanoparticles
TL;DR: For nanoparticles to move into the clinical arena, it is important that nanotoxicology research uncovers and understands how these multiple factors influence the toxicity of nanoparticles so that their undesirable properties can be avoided.

Tumor hypoxia: definitions and current clinical, biologic, and molecular aspects.
Michael Höckel,Peter Vaupel +1 more
TL;DR: Because malignant tumors no longer execute functions necessary for homeostasis (such as the production of adequate amounts of adenosine triphosphate), the physiology-based definitions of the term "hypoxia" are not necessarily valid for malignant tumor patients.
