Versatile synthetic strategies for PBCA-based hybrid fluorescent microbubbles and their potential theranostic applications to cell labelling and imaging

Abstract

This research reports the versatile synthetic strategies for hybrid PBCA microbubbles as contrast agents and drug carriers loaded with fluorescent dyes and magnetic nanoparticles serving in vitro cell labelling and in vivo target imaging. These multifunctional probes therefore prove their potential biomedical applications in cancer diagnostics and treatment.
