VHPKQHR Peptide Modified Ultrasmall Paramagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Targeting Rheumatoid Arthritis for T1-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be the ideal diagnostic modality for early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is highly expressed in synovial locations in patients with RA, which could be a potential target protein for RA diagnosis. The peptide VHPKQHR (VHP)...
