Phototrophic purple bacteria as optoacoustic in vivo reporters of macrophage activity

Current optoacoustic probes for cancer imaging have limitations including background noise, long-term toxicity and scarce imaging depth in living tissue. Here the authors use Rhodobacter, purple bacteria rich in bacteriochlorophyll a, as an optoacoustic reporter to image tumor-associated macrophages...
