Nanoparticles are widely used as therapeutic delivery vectors in a wide range of diseases, due to their versatility. However, accurate monitoring of distribution is challenging using current techniques. Here, we have investigated the use of a novel fluorinated peptide incorporated into a nanoparticle for the monitoring of distribution and assessment of therapeutic delivery by taking advantage of the lack of endogenous 19F signal.
