Tau is a microtubule （MT） binding protein, which becomes abnormally hyperphosphorylated on several residues prior/during the process of aggregation, thereby causing loss of its MT binding activity （Mandelkow and Mandelkow, 2012）.展开更多

Modulated upconversion luminescence emission spectra were obtained via changing the doping. In vitro and in vivo bioimagings were carried out with shrimps. The upconversion nanoprobes with an acidic/PEG hybrid ligand could quickly capture the basic Rhodamine-B（RB） in shrimp cells and formed a close UCNPs@RB system. The residual organic dye RB in shrimps could be detected on the basis of luminescent resonance energy transfer（LRET）. It could be rapidly addressed based on LRET detection that RB residue existed in the shrimps after incubating in the aqueous solution of RB higher than 3 μg/m L for 12 h.展开更多
