Labeling of Hyaluronic Acids with a Rhenium-tricarbonyl Tag and Percutaneous Penetration Studied by Multimodal imaging

摘要

Hyaluronic acids were labeled with a rhenium-tricarbonyl used as single core multimodal probe for imaging and their penetration into human skin biopsies was studied using IR microscopy and fluorescence imaging (labeled SCoMPI). The penetration was shown to be dependent on the molecular weight of the molecule and limited to the upper layer of the skin.
