TL;DR: Temperature-dependent PL and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopies reveal that the remarkable PL enhancement originates from the increased radiative recombination rate and density of STEs, as a result of symmetry breakdown of the STE wavefunction at the octahedral Ag+ site.

TL;DR: The presented multifunctional smart nanoagent shows enhanced antitumor efficacy by simultaneous ATP‐responsive chemodrug release and cancer cell sensitization and offers new insights toward the design of smart nanoagents for improved cancer therapeutics.

TL;DR: In this article, a bio-inorganic nanohybrid and combined lysozyme (LYZ) with UCNP-PDT system was designed to enhance the efficiency against resistant bacteria and achieved an exceptionally strong bactericidal capacity and conspicuous bacteriostasis on methicillin-resistant S. aureus.

TL;DR: A facile one-step solvothermal approach to fabricate targetable and biocompatible β-NaYF4:Yb,Gd,Tm upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with bimodal-signals using hyaluronic acid (HA) as a multifunctional molecule is reported.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize tetragonal-phase trivalent lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped nanoparticles via a facile thermal decomposition method and demonstrate their application as sensitive heterogeneous time-resolved photoluminescence bioprobes to detect the protein of avidin and the tumor marker of the carcinoembryonic antigen.
