A GRPR-targeted near-infrared fluorescent probe for precise tumor imaging and intraoperative surgical navigation
Fluorescence-guided surgery requires tumor-imaging probes that provide reliable contrast while minimizing background interference. Herein, we developed a gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR)-targeted near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe, IR783-BBN, by covalently conjugating the bombesin peptide with the IR783 flu...
