PEGylated chitosan grafted with polyamidoamine-dendron was fabricated as a tumor-targeted mCA and its application was well demonstrated.
In this study, we report the preparation and characterization of the PVA–DTPA–Gd conjugate as a potential MRI contrast agent (CA).
The MRI enhanced by a zwitterionized dendritic contrast agent clearly indicates metastatic tumors in the liver.
A safe, efficient and inexpensive nanoplatform based on gadolinium-functionalized Fe3O4@polydopamine nanocomposites was fabricated for T1/T2 dual-modal magnetic resonance imaging-guided photothermal therapy.
Core–shell copolymers have received widespread attention because of their unique properties, such as suitable for surface modification and increasing the functionality.
