“Preparation and Bioapplications of Rare Ear th-Based Nanoparticles”
Owing to the unu sual magnetic and optical properties associated with f-electrons, rare eart h elements are suitable for creating multifunctional materials, while nanop articles provide an ideal platform that display the unique, versatile prope rties of rare earth elements within single particles through the judicious selection of particle matrix and dopants. The recent accomplishments in rar e earth-based nanoparticle synthesis has aroused the interest of scientists to further explore their biomedical applications. In this talk, I will pre sent several examples of the application of rare earth-based nanoparticles as probes for imaging tumors in vivo, as well as some general rules about t ailoring the relaxometric properties and upconversion luminescent propertie s of rare earth-based nanoparticles that are potentially useful for biomedi cal imaging applications. Considering the broad potential applications of r are earth-based nanoparticles in the biomedical field, a reliable histochem ical staining method was introduced for probing the distribution of rare ea rth-based nanoparticles in different organs and tissues, which is imperativ e for evaluating the targeting ability and safety profiles of rare earth-ba sed nanoparticles.
