• compared to the free form [24]. Our release kinetics and pharmacokinetics study results [24] seem to indicate that the NP formulation stabilizes IR820, protecting it from degradation and allowing for longer detection windows. Discussion The MW of PGMD polymer is 3000 Da, which is expected for polymers
