摘要：

Molecular imaging has played an important role in cancer diagnosis. With the advances in nanotechnology, nanomaterials have emerged as a promising candidate for molecular imaging. In this presentation, tumor vascular targeting using different targeting ligands will be introduced for improving the targeting efficiency and specificity of nanoparticles. In addition, a novel chelator-free radiolabeling approach will be introduced for stable and efficient radiolabeling with several emerging nanomaterials. In the end, a biodegradable copper sulfide (CuS) nanosystem will be introduced for multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) in living animals. The degradation of CuS is controllable and temperature-dependent, making it a clinically-translatable in vivo theranostic platform with lower long-term side effects. Our studies provide a comprehensive and unique perspective for the designs and applications of novel nanomaterials, and may inspire future explorations into the realm of more controllable, multifunctional, and clinical relevant nanotheranostics.
