title: Overcoming Autofluorescence: Long-Lifetime Infrared Nanoparticles for Time-Gated In Vivo Imaging.
abstract: The always present and undesired contribution of autofluorescence is here completely avoided by combining a simple time gating technology with long lifetime neodymium doped infrared-emitting nanoparticles.
