A Novel Degradable Polymeric Carrier for Selective Release and Imaging of Magnetic Nanoparticles
Overview
Affiliations
A water-soluble, pH-responsive copolymer was synthesized successfully and used as a polymeric carrier to deliver hydrophobic paramagnetic nanoparticles into cells. In an acidic environment, the nanoparticles aggregate as the copolymer degrades, resulting in the enhancement of an in vitro MRI signal.
