In the present study we analyzed the effect of structural distinction in neodymium nanostructures for modulating angiogenic process as the strategy for identifying biocompatible Nano therapeutics for biomedical applications. We observed structural dependence of Nd nanoparticles on biocompatibility, the spherical polymorphs showed better biocompatibility when compared with cuboidal and nanorod shaped polymorphs of neodymium. The Nd nanopolymorphs in spherical morphology exhibited least redox modulating effect compared to cuboidal shaped that was higher when compared to Nd nanorods. The efficacy of the Nd Nanopolymorphs to induce biological effect in particular on angiogenic process was observed to be directly related to the polymorphs ability to modulate redox signaling. The redox signaling was observed to be via PKM2-NOX4 signaling pathways. Further the results demonstrated that ROS generated by cuboid and rod shaped nanopolymorphs activated the pro-angiogenic factors namely VE-cadherin, HIF 1α, VEGF and VEGFR-2 to facilitate the angiogenic process. The manuscript highlights the importance of rare earth metal nanoparticles in modulating biological process for therapeutic interventions. The present study opens up a new domain in developing novel biocompatible therapeutics based on rare earth metal nanoparticles for regulating disease pathophysiology
