Abstract:
Invited for this month's cover is the group of Prof. Vincent Sol from the University of Limoges, France. This study is a collaboration between the Universities of Limoges, Reims, Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC, Paris), and Paris Sud (Orsay). The cover picture shows a magnetic dextran nanoparticle bearing hydrophilic porphyrin derivatives; the illustration shows bimodal nanoplatforms that could be used as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging as well as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy.
