Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a preferred technique for noninvasively monitoring the fate of implanted cells, such as stem cells and immune cells <i>in vivo</i>. Cellular MRI requires contrast agents (CAs) to label the cells of interest. Despite promising progress made in this emerging field, highly sensitive, stable and biocompatible <i>T</i><sub>1</sub> CAs with high cell permeability and specificity remains an unmet challenge. To address this need, a novel Mn<sup>III</sup>-porphyrin, Mn ...[more]
