TL;DR: The engineered nanoparticles may have potential in tumor-targeted delivery of Gd thereby enhancing the therapeutic success of NCT, and the benefits of folate ligand coating were to facilitate tumor cell internalization and retention in the tumor tissue.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stable target populations required for marker-based MST occur around the globe, and tested ruminant-targeted assays appear to be suitable quantitative MST tools beyond the regional level while the targeted human-associated populations seem to be less prevalent and stable, suggesting potential for improvements in human- Targeted methods.

TL;DR: The results indicate that use of a less specific, but more sensitive, biomarker may provide greater utility when the prevention of false negatives is necessary and the primary fecal source is known, as in spatial distribution studies of human fecal pollution in an urban watershed.
