Guiding brain tumor surgery with nanoprobes

SOURCE (Nanowerk News) Researchers in China have developed two pH-responsive nanoprobes to guide brain-tumor surgery via the magnetic resonance (MR) and surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) signals activated upon their self-assembly in acidic tumor extracellular fluid.Reporting their findings in Advanced Materials (“Guiding Brain-Tumor Surgery via Blood–Brain-Barrier-Permeable Gold Nanoprobes with Acid-Triggered […]
