TL;DR: The results indicate that a tri-modal nanoprobe served as fluorescent/CT/magnetic bioimaging can be realized using the PEG-modified BaGdF₅:Yb/Er UCNPs with very low cytotoxicity and long circulation time, which would be very useful in a variety of biomedical application fields.

TL;DR: Large‐pore mesoporous‐silica‐coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCMSs) with a size of less than 100 nm are successfully prepared by a typical silica sol–gel reaction using mesitylene as a pore‐swelling agent and applied as a novel immunoadjuvant, suggesting the enhanced immunotherapy efficacy and clinical potential of UCMSs as immunoad Juvant for cancer immunotherapy.

TL;DR: This work developed a simple strategy to synthesize alkyl phosphate (TDPA) coated CsPbBr3 QDs by using 1-tetradecylphosphonic acid both as the ligand for the CspbBr 3 QDs and as the precursor for the formation of alkyL phosphate.

TL;DR: Based on the qualitative comparison of apatite formation in SBF and quantitative measurement of MG-63-mediated mineralization in vitro, the Sr-HA/PEEK composite was proven to outperform HA/ PEEK in providing bioactivity, however, no difference was found in the trend of cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity between different composites.
