Avoiding hepatic metastasis naturally: Lessons from the cotton top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus)

Figure 10 Schematic representation of the technique used for the synthesis of gadolinium encapsulated Gellan-gum-block-Polyethylene glycol co-polymeric nanoparticles. The above figure is a representation of the technical steps to generate nanoparticles of gadolinium encapsulated by Gellan-gum-block-Polyethylene glycol copolymeric micelle nanoparticles. This should ensure delivery and advantageous dwell time in order to block Kupffer functions of uptake of CEA and reduce the pro-metastogenic role of these cells. CEA: Carcinoembryonic antigen.
