High-Efficiency in Vitro and in Vivo Detection of Zn2+ by Dye-Assembled Upconversion Nanoparticles

Development of highly sensitive and selective sensing systems of divalent zinc ion (Zn(2+)) in organisms has been a growing interest in the past decades owing to its pivotal role in cellular metabolism, apoptosis, and neurotransmission. Herein, we report the rational design and synthesis of a Zn(2+)... View More
