TLDR
Functional metal-organic coordinated nanogels (GdNGs) for in vivo tumor imaging are reported, whose non-crystalline and elastic nature allows for long blood circulation, as opposed to the rapid systemic clearance of common nanohybrids with rigid/ Crystalline frameworks.

A New Concept for Macromolecular Therapeutics in Cancer Chemotherapy: Mechanism of Tumoritropic Accumulation of Proteins and the Antitumor Agent Smancs

TL;DR: It is speculated that the tumoritropic accumulation of smancs and other proteins resulted because of the hypervasculature, an enhanced permeability to even macromolecules, and little recovery through either blood vessels or lymphatic vessels in tumors of tumor-bearing mice.
