Gadolinium-hyaluronic acid nanoparticles as an efficient and safe magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent for articular cartilage injury detection

Accurate detection of cartilage injuries is critical for their proper treatment because these injuries lack the self-healing ability and lead to joint dysfunction. However, the low longitudinal T1 relaxivity (r1) and non-specificity of contrast agents (such as gadolinium(III)-diethylenetriamine-pent...
