Abstract
A recent report from Urano et al. described the development of near-infrared (NIR) probes for cancer detection using chemical bioconjugation of targeting agents. Here, I highlight an alternative strategy to develop cancer-selective NIR imaging and theranostic agents without chemical conjugation.
