Cover Picture: Hyaluronic Acid-Gadolinium Complex Nanospheres as Lymphatic System-Specific Contrast Agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Chin. J. Chem. 10/2015)
Graphical Abstract
The cover picture shows the synthesis of hyaluronic acid gadolinium complex (HA-Gd-DTPA) nanosphere from natural hyaluronic acid molecule through complexation and assembly. The nanosphere, as a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent, is specially used to the examination and diagnosis of the lymphatic system disease because the hyaluronic acid is a highly promising lymphatic targeting carrier. More details are discussed in the article by Zhu et al. on page 1153–1158.
