Multi-functional upconversion nanoparticles for in vivo imaging, in vivo tumor suppression and photodynamic therapy

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been utilized for biological applications. Unlike conventional linear excitation molecules, UCNPs are excited by 980nm and emit photon in visible and near infrared region. The unique photophysical property offers superior penetration depth and lower photo-cyto...
