| Description: |
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for elemental mapping of a safe, multifunctional nanotheranostic biomineralized manganese carbonate (BMC) nanoparticles (NPs) that readily decompose to release Mn2+ ions and CO2 gas in the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) acting as a tumor-specific actuating nanocarrier.
