title: Artificial luminescent protein as a bioprobe for time-gated luminescence bioimaging.
abstract: An artificial luminescent protein, apoferritin-encapsulated luminescent europium complex, has been designed/fabricated and displays good biocompatibility and long-lived luminescence, which means it can be used as a bioprobe to image living cells with a time-gated mode.
