Tens of millions of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams are
performed annually around the world. The contrast agents, which improve diagnostic …

The concept that progression of cancer is regulated by interactions of cancer cells with their
microenvironment was postulated by Stephen Paget over a century ago. Contemporary …

Peptide‐based materials are one of the most important biomaterials, with diverse structures
and functionalities. Over the past few decades, a self‐assembly strategy is introduced to …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a clinical imaging modality effective for anatomical
and functional imaging of diseased soft tissues, including solid tumors. MRI contrast agents …

The various types of cells that comprise the tumor mass all carry molecular markers that are
not expressed or are expressed at much lower levels in normal cells. These differentially …

Modern biomedical imaging technologies have led to significant advances in diagnosis and
therapy. Because most disease processes occur at the molecular and cellular levels …

The tumor microenvironment plays a critical role in tumor initiation, progression, metastasis,
and resistance to therapy. It is different from normal tissue in the extracellular matrix …

The use of nanoparticles in medicine (nanomedicine) has recently become an intensely
studied field. Nanoparticles carrying drugs and imaging agents have already reached the …

Peptide therapeutics is a promising field for emerging anti-cancer agents. Benefits include
the ease and rapid synthesis of peptides and capacity for modifications. An existing and vast …
