title: Gadolinium-enriched polyaniline particles (GPAPs) for simultaneous diagnostic imaging and localized photothermal therapy of epithelial cancer.
abstract: By loading Gd(III) inside NIR-absorbing polyaniline nanostructures, a novel diagnostic and photothermal agent with enhanced MR sensitivity, targeting ability, and photothermal ability to treat epithelial cancer is developed.
