Cho U, Chen J
Cell Chem Biol . 2020 Aug; 27(8):921-936. PMID: 32735780
The unique photophysical properties of lanthanides, such as europium, terbium, and ytterbium, make them versatile molecular probes of biological systems. In particular, their long-lived photoluminescence, narrow bandwidth emissions, and large...

Ciepla P, Cho U, Chen J
Methods Enzymol . 2020 Jun; 640:225-248. PMID: 32560800
In principle, the long emission lifetimes of lanthanide chelates should enable their ultrasensitive detection in biological systems by time-resolved optical microscopy. However, most lanthanide-imaging systems cannot achieve sensitivities that exceed...
