Endosome-escapable poly(amino acid) nanoparticles composed of iron oxide nanocrystals and anticancer drugs were prepared and demonstrated high T(2) relaxivity coefficients and higher efficacy attributed to the endosomolytic ability of the conjugated histidine moiety.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
