Near-infrared long lifetime upconversion nanoparticles for ultrasensitive microRNA detection via time-gated luminescence resonance energy transfer
Introduction Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), which can emit visible or shorter-wavelength near-infrared (NIR) luminescence under NIR excitation, offer considerable advantages, such as high photostability, non-photobleaching, […]
Near-infrared light-driven metabolic reprogramming of synoviocytes for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting approximately 1% of the global population, with a higher prevalence in women and those with […]
