Design of Apoferritin-Based Nanoparticle MRI Contrast Agents Through Controlled Metal Deposition

abstract: Sensitivity is a fundamental challenge for in vivo molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here, I improve the sensitivity of metal nanoparticle contrast agents by strategically incorporating pure and doped metal oxides in the nanoparticle core, forming a soluble, monodisperse, contras...
