Carcinoma cellular uptake, imaging, and targeting by RGDS- and TAT-conjugated upconversion and/or magnetic nanoparticles
Specific targeting and in vivo visualization of cancer cells is of crucial importance for early detection and treatment of cancer. We have developed monodisperse poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-modified SiO2-coated Fe3O4 superparamagnetic nanoparticles [1] with size tuned [...]
