While magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents have potential in noninvasive image-guided tumor treatment, further developments are needed to increase contrast, biodegradability, and safety. Here, novel engineered manganese-eumelanin coordination nanocomposites (MnEMNPs) are developed via a facile one-pot intrapolymerization doping (IPD) approach in aqueous solution, through simple chemical oxidation-polymerization of the 3,4-dihydroxy-DL-phenylalanine precursor with potassium permanganate ser ...[more]
