α<sub>v</sub>β<sub>3</sub>-Specific Gold Nanoparticles for Fluorescence Imaging of Tumor Angiogenesis

This paper reports on the development of tumor-specific gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as theranostic tools intended for target accumulation and the detection of tumor angiogenesis via optical imaging (OI) before therapy is performed, being initiated via an external X-ray irradiation source. The AuNPs w...
