    Lanthanum is a chemical element with the symbol La and the atomic number 57. It is a soft, ductile, silvery-white metal that tarnishes slowly when exposed to air. It is the eponym of the lanthanide series, a group of 15 similar elements between lanthanum and lutetium in the periodic table, of which lanthanum is the first and the prototype.

    Naturally occurring lanthanum (57 La) is composed of one stable (139 La) and one radioactive (138 La) isotope, with the stable isotope, 139 La, being the most abundant (99.91% natural abundance). There are 39 radioisotopes that have been characterized, with the most stable being 138 La, with a half-life of 1.03×10 11 years; 137 La, with a half ...

    The lanthanum ion is used to affect the levels of let-7a and microRNAs miR-34a in a cell throughout the cell cycle. When the lanthanum ion was introduced to the cell in vivo or in vitro, it inhibited the rapid growth and induced apoptosis of the cancer cells (specifically cervical cancer cells).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_element

    The rare-earth elements patterns observed in igneous rocks are primarily a function of the chemistry of the source where the rock came from, as well as the fractionation history the rock has undergone. [27] Fractionation is in turn a function of the partition coefficients of each element. Partition coefficients are responsible for the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanthanide_compounds

    The CuTi 2 structure of the lanthanum, cerium and praseodymium diiodides along with HP-NdI 2 contain 4 4 nets of metal and iodine atoms with short metal-metal bonds (393-386 La-Pr). [10] these compounds should be considered to be two-dimensional metals (two-dimensional in the same way that graphite is). The salt-like dihalides include those of ...
