Improved Magnetic Resonance Molecular Imaging of Tumor Angiogenesis by Avidin-Induced Clearance of Nonbound Bimodal Liposomes
Angiogenic, that is, newly formed, blood vessels play an important role in tumor growth and metastasis and are a potential target for tumor treatment. In previous studies, the αvβ3 integrin, which is strongly expressed in angiogenic vessels, has been used as a target for Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-functiona...
