Smart magnetic nanoparticle-aptamer probe for targeted imaging and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma

We report herein the development of a smart magnetic nanoparticle-aptamer probe, or theranostic nanoprobe, which can be used for targeted imaging and as a drug carrier for hepatocellular carcinoma treatment. The theranostic nanoprobe combines the delivery potential of a non-toxic cellulose derivativ...
