Engineering Anti-MMP-9 Peptide-Modified Nanoparticles for Precision MRI Diagnosis of Endometriosis

doi:10.1007/s11307-026-02086-9 ·PMID:41760802

Endometriosis diagnosis is often limited by the resolution of conventional imaging techniques (ultrasound/non-targeted MRI) as well as the invasiveness and recurrence risks associated with laparoscopy. To overcome these challenges, we devel…
