Multicolored redox active upconverter cerium oxide nanoparticle for bio-imaging and therapeutics

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Cytocompatible, co-doped cerium oxide nanoparticles exhibited strong upconversion properties that were found to kill lung cancer cells by inducing apoptosis thereby demonstrating the potential to be used as clinical contrast agents for imaging and as therapeutic agents for treatment of cancer.
