Rapidly liver-clearable rare-earth core–shell nanoprobe for dual-modal breast cancer imaging in the second near-infrared window

Abstract Background Fluorescence imaging as the beacon for optical navigation has wildly developed in preclinical studies due to its prominent advantages, including noninvasiveness and superior temporal resolution. However, the traditional optical methods based on ultraviolet (UV, 200–400 nm) and vi...
