pH-Triggered Au-fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles for 19F MR/fluorescent multimodal cancer cellular imaging†
Abstract
Novel pH-triggered nanoprobe were fabricated for 19F MRI and fluorescence imaging (MRI-FI) of cancer cells. The biocompatibility, durability, high internalizing efficiency and pore architecture justify the Au-fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles as ideal, highly sensitive and highly specific vectors for 19F MRI and FI of cancer cells.
