Summary
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have emerged as biocompatible and versatile nanomaterials for biomedical applications in drug delivery. This study shows the ability of CNCs to interact with copper ions through radiolabeling experiments conducted using copper-61, highlighting for the first time their potential as biocompatible and efficient nanoplatforms for metal ion coordination and delivery. The promising radiolabeling results suggest that these nanoarchitectures could be further optimized for applications in diagnostic imaging or targeted radiotherapy.
