General description

Lanthanum(III) chloride hydrate is a highly water-soluble crystalline solid widely used in catalytic processes and as a dopant in the production of phosphors and ceramics.

Application

Lanthanum(III) chloride hydrate can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize La-based nanostructures.
  • As a dopant to fabricate ZnO nanoparticles with enhanced optical particles.
  • To synthesize Fe–La composite (hydr)oxides for arsenic removal from water.
  • Tofabricate lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) powders forultra-high-temperature ceramics.

Targeted therapies against oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) show promising results in the clinic. Unfortunately, despite the initial positive response, most patients develop therapeutic resistance. Most research has focused on acquired resistance occurring after an extensive time of treatment; however
