Accumulation of rare earth elements in human bone within the lifespan
TL;DR: It was shown that after treatment with lanthanum carbonate as a phosphate binder, contents of Gd and La in the bone tissue of patients are two to three orders of magnitude higher than normal levels, and in the authors' opinion, REEs incorporation may affect bone quality and health similar to other potentially toxic trace metals.

Reevaluation of the trace element content in Reference Man
TL;DR: In this paper, the total body content of several trace elements for the 70 kg Reference Man has been reevaluated using recent analytical data, and the evaluation leads to the following conclusions: for Al, Ba, Cu and F, the present estimates show an increase; for Br, Cs, I, Pb and Zn, the average values derived from the present evaluation have remained close to the 1975 estimates; for As, Cd and Rb, the total contents have declined; for B, Co and Mn the uncertainty of the 1975 evaluations have been reduced; and for Au
