Intelligent polymer-MnO2 nanoparticles for dual-activatable photoacoustic and magnetic resonance bimodal imaging in living mice

Abstract

Herein, we report a dual-activatable MRI/PAI strategy for bimodal tumor imaging using an intelligent platform based on degradable MnO2 and a near-infrared absorptive polymer conjugated with BODIPY molecules. We believe the smart platform could promote the advance of numerous dual-activatable bimodal imaging techniques for biological applications.
