High signal contrast gating with biomodified Gd doped mesoporous nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Internally Gd doped mesoporous nanoparticles have been prepared and exhibit unprecedented relaxivities that are retained on external biomodification. In tuning diffusive water access, image contrast can be reversibly switched in the presence of a specific protein target.
