All bound up : A poly( L ‐3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine)‐based ligand converts hydrophobic nanoparticles into hydrophilic and biocompatible species through several binding modes. Nanoparticles functionalized with this ligand (see picture) are highly stable in various aqueous solutions. A successful in vivo MRI application using functionalized Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles confirmed their suitability for various biomedical applications.
