“Smart” theranostic lanthanide nanoprobes with simultaneous up-conversion fluorescence and tunable T1–T2 magnetic resonance imaging contrast and near-infrared activated photodynamic therapy

The current work reports a type of “smart” lanthanide-based theranostic nanoprobe, NaDyF4:Yb3+/NaGdF4:Yb3+,Er3+, which is able to circumvent the up-converting poisoning effect of Dy3+ ions to give efficient near infrared (980 nm) triggered up-conversion fluorescence, and offers not only excellent da...
