Probing Cytotoxicity of Gadolinium Hydroxide Nanostructures

Gadolinium hydroxide, Gd(OH)3, nanostructures were examined for their possible use in imaging and tracking of cells and tissues by investigating their cellular interactions and cytotoxic behaviors. For this purpose, Gd(OH)3 nanorods (length, several hundred nanometers; diameter, ∼40 nm) and spherica...
