摘要:
Provided herein are compositions comprising lanthanide-doped nanoparticles which upconvert electromagnetic radiation from infrared or near infrared wavelengths into the visible light spectrum. Also provided herein are methods activating light-responsive opsin proteins expressed on plasma membranes of neurons and selectively altering the membrane polarization state of the neurons using the light delivered by the lanthanide-doped nanoparticles.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to photostable sunscreen and/or artificial tanning compositions including quantum dot nanocrystals of a material selected from semiconductor nanocrystals, modified semiconductor nanocrystals, multicomponent semiconductor/semiconductor nanocrystals, and hybrid semiconductor/metal nanocrystals, the quantum dot nanocrystals having an absorption band gap occurring at wavelengths higher than 400 nm whereby the quantum dot nanocrystals have substantial broadband absorption properties of ultraviolet light at wavelengths across the range of both UV-A (320-400 nm) and UV-B (280-320 nm), and a dermatologically acceptable carrier for the quantum dot nanocrystals. The present invention is further directed to photostable sunscreen and/or artificial tanning compositions including a material selected from metallic nanocrystals, multicomponent metal/metal nanocrystals, and alloyed metal nanocrystals, the metallic material having a surface plasmon resonance occurring sufficiently into the visible or infrared spectral region whereby broad absorption features due to electronic transitions, the broad absorption features located at higher energies, provide substantial broadband absorption properties of ultraviolet light at wavelengths across the range of both UV-A (320-400 nm) and UV-B (280-320 nm), and a dermatologically acceptable carrier for the metallic material.
