The PA signal was gradually weakened along with the depletion of GAGs in cartilage. Particularly, PLL-MNPs depicted the cartilage structure and the distribution of GAGs was demonstrated in PA images in ex vivo joints. Compared with the normal joint, a lower signal intensity was detected from degenerative joint at 3 weeks after papain injection, suggesting an early diagnosis of cartilage lesion by PLL-MNPs. Importantly, this PA-enhanced nanoprobe was suitable for monitoring in vivo efficacy of glucosamine sulfate, which effecti
