Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs)

for Cancer Theranostics

Molecule

Framework Nucleic Acids (FNAs) for

kidney injury and nervous system management

Rational integration of tumor-specific mAbs and imaging/treatment radioisotopes may create theranostic pairs for early detection and timely intervention of cancer simultaneously.
