Open AccessNanoparticle enhanced MRI can monitor macrophage response to CD47 mAb immunotherapy in osteosarcoma
CD47 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) activate tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in sarcomas to phagocytose and eliminate cancer cells. Though CD47 mAbs have entered clinical trials, diagnostic tests for monitor...
