1. A nanoparticle having a lipid core comprising a plurality of lipids, wherein said lipid core is linked via a first polymeric linker to a 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (2-DG) molecule and is further linked via a second polymeric linker to a chelating agent; wherein a portion of the lipids attached to said 2-DG-molecules from said plurality of lipids is between about 5 and 20 mol %; wherein a portion of the lipids attached to the chelating agent from said plurality of lipids is between 2.4 and about 10 mol %; and wherein a hydrodynamic diameter of said nanoparticle is between 60 and 200 nm; wherein the first and the second polymeric linkers comprise PEG; and wherein said chelating agent is a metal chelator selected from the group consisting of: 1-(1,3-carboxy-propyl)-4,7,10-(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (DOTAGA), 1-(1,2-carboxyethyl)-4,7,10-(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (DOTASA) or 1,4,7,10-tetraazaacyclo-dodecane-1,4,7,10-tetra-acetic acid (DOTA), or any combination thereof.
