Effects of Pd CNCs on ascorbate-induced cytotoxicity in vivo. The current clinical medicines, oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), are also included for comparison. a Average weight of mice with HCT116 xenografts after different treatments. b Tumor growth curves from HCT116 tumor xenografts in 6–8 week athymic nude mice with ascorbate or Pd CNCs. c Percentage of growth inhibition of mice after the treatment. For all in vivo studies, mice n = 5 per treatment group
