Biomedicine
The Neglected “Element of Life”
Rare earth elements (REEs) were once considered “proprietary materials” for industrial catalysts and electronic components, but in recent years, their breakthrough applications in the biomedical field are disrupting this perception. With their unique optical, magnetic, and catalytic properties, rare earth nanomaterials are becoming “all-rounders” for disease diagnosis, targeted therapy, and regenerative medicine. Deepcela’s rare earth oxides, chlorides, fluorides, phosphates and other series of compounds can meet the diverse needs of disease diagnosis, targeted therapy, antibacterial and antiviral, tissue repair, etc., and provide high-purity and functional core material support for modern medical treatment.
Rare Earth Applications in Biomedicine – The Innovative Value of DeepCeLaTM‘s Diversified Rare Earth Compounds
Application of Rare earth materials in biomedicine
Rare earth Oxides (e.g. Gadolinium Oxide, Cerium Oxide).
- Medical imaging: used for MRI contrast agents and X-ray enhancement materials to improve the accuracy of lesion detection.
- Antioxidant therapy: scavenges free radicals and adjuvants inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
Rare earth Chlorides (e.g. Lanthanum Chloride, Ytterbium Chloride).
- Antibacterial and antiviral: inhibits drug-resistant bacteria and viral activity, and is used for medical device coatings and wound dressings.
- Photodynamic/photothermal therapy: Precise killing of cancer cells with near-infrared light.
Rare earth Fluorides (e.g., Yttrium Fluoride, Europium Fluoride)
- Bioimaging: as a fluorescent marker or upconversion material for cell tracking and deep tissue imaging.
- Drug delivery: Nano fluoride carriers enable controlled drug release and reduce side effects.
Rare earth Hydroxides (e.g., Lanthanum Hydroxide)
- Adsorbents: specific adsorption of toxins or excess metal ions, used for blood purification, adjuvant treatment of kidney disease.
Rare earth Nitrates (e.g., Cerium Nitrate, Gadolinium Nitrate)
- Synthesis of antimicrobial materials: preparation of antimicrobial nanoparticles or coatings as precursors.
- Catalytic degradation of medical waste: accelerate the environmentally friendly treatment of hazardous substances.
Rare earth Phosphates (e.g., yttrium phosphate, cerium calcium phosphate)
- Bone Repair Materials: Promote bone cell regeneration and are used in artificial bones or dental fillings.
- Targeted drug carriers: precise delivery of anti-cancer drugs to the lesion area.
Rare earth Carbonates (e.g. Lanthanum Carbonate, Gadolinium Carbonate)
- Treatment of kidney disease: Effectively reduce the concentration of phosphate in the blood and replace traditional drugs.
- Gene therapy: Assist in the delivery of nucleic acid drugs to break through biological barriers.
Rare earth Sulfates (e.g. Gadolinium Sulfate)
- In vitro diagnostics: as a chemical reagent to enhance detection sensitivity for immunoassays or biochemical assays.
Rare earths of Citrate (e.g. Cerium Citrate, Lanthanum Citrate)
- Oral/injectable formulations: regulate metabolism in the body through chelation and are used for nutritional supplementation or detoxification therapy
From “industrial monosodium glutamate” to “life catalyst”, rare earth materials are writing a new legend in the field of biomedicine. With the deep integration of nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and rare earth properties, an era of “observable, controllable and curable” precision medicine is coming.
Our Advantage
The Xiamen Rare Earth Science and Technology Innovation Center and the Baotou Rare Earth High-tech Zone Industrial Base have established a three-level system of “basic research (Xiamen) – engineering transformation (pilot platform) – large-scale manufacturing (Baotou)”, reducing the technology transformation cycle by 40%.
Agile development mechanism and modular product library: Based on the three major platforms of nano-rare earth oxides, high-purity compounds, and functionalized salts, over 100 derivative materials can be quickly combined, covering special crystal form control (such as cubic cerium oxide), surface functional modification, and other requirements. Value-added service extension: Provide application simulation testing (such as catalytic performance prediction), competitive product benchmarking analysis, and patent layout consultation to help customers reduce trial-and-error costs
Led by top experts: The chief scientist is the project leader of the Xiamen Rare Earth Materials Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The core members include experts from various fields such as materials science, biomedicine, new energy materials, and ecological environment.
