pH-responsive ratiometric photoacoustic imaging of polyaniline nanoparticle-coated needle for targeted cancer biopsy

Cancer microenvironment exhibits lower pH compared to healthy tissues, a characteristic which can be exploited using a pH-responsive needle to increase the accuracy of cancer biopsy. A needle, coated with pH-responsive polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles (PANI-needle), is developed for the minimally in...
