One-pot synthesis of magnetic nanoclusters enabling atherosclerosis-targeted magnetic resonance imaging

In this study, dextran-encrusted magnetic nanoclusters (DMNCs) were synthesized using a one-pot solution phase method for detection of atherosclerosis by magnetic resonance imaging. Pyrenyl dextran was used as a surfactant because of its electron-stabilizing effect and its amphiphilic nature, render...
