ultra-small superparamagnetic iron oxide [particle](English)

• refers to particles functionalized with R832 and R826, two peptides specifically recognizing VCAM-1 and apoptosis, respectively, have been demonstrated to hold potential for the detection of atherosclerotic plaques by delivering nanoparticles specifically to VCAM-1-expressing and apoptotic cells within atherosclerotic plaques. Can be injected intravenously, and following ingestion by macrophages, detected on T2-weighted CMR
