Impact of Molecular Weight on Lymphatic Drainage of a Biopolymer-Based Imaging Agent

New lymphatic imaging technologies are needed to better assess immune function and cancer progression and treatment. Lymphatic uptake depends mainly on particle size (10–100 nm) and charge. The size of carriers for imaging and drug delivery can be optimized to maximize lymphatic uptake, localize che...
