Octadecyl Gallate and Lipid‐Modified MnSe2 Nanoparticles Enhance Radiosensitivity in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Promote Radioprotection in Normal Tissues

Radiotherapy, a widely used therapeutic strategy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), is always limited by radioresistance of tumor tissues and side-effects on normal tissues. Herein, a signature based on four core genes of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway, is developed to predict prognosis and assess immune cell infiltration, indicating that the cGAS-STING pathway and radiotherapy efficacy are closely intertwined in ESCC. A novel lipid-modified manganese diselenide nanoparticle (MnSe
