Recent Advances in Imaging Agents Anchored with pH (Low) Insertion Peptides for Cancer Theranostics

The acidic extracellular microenvironment has become an effective target for diagnosing and treating tumors. A pH (low) insertion peptide (pHLIP) is a kind of peptide that can spontaneously fold into a transmembrane helix in an acidic microenvironment, and then insert into and cross the cell membran...
