Employees of the AV Nikolaev Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (INC) have synthesized new luminescent compounds that are not toxic to cells for bioimaging. These release reports “Science in Siberia”.
The publication states that the luminescent dyes available for bioimaging are toxic to cells.
“We get different luminescence properties for different metal cations. Basically, we synthesize complexes of europium, samarium, and terbium because it is these compounds that diffuse in the region of light visible to the human eye. When irradiated with ultraviolet light, the first is red, the second is orange, and the third is green. At the Institute of Chemical Chemistry In one set of compounds, the europium complex showed itself best in another – europium and samarium, ”said researcher Ksenia Smirnova.
Previously, scientists from the Institute of Cytology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (INC), St. together with scientists from St. Petersburg State University and Pavlovsk Medical University discovered“scrap” DNA influences cancer cells’ resistance to chemotherapy.
