Noninvasive imaging of tumor progression, metastasis, and fibrosis using a nanobody targeting the extracellular matrix

Extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition is a hallmark of many diseases, including cancer and fibroses. To exploit the ECM as an imaging and therapeutic target, we developed alpaca-derived libraries of “nanobodies” against disease-associated ECM proteins. We describe here one such nanobody, NJB2, speci...
