Super-resolution imaging techniques that overcome the diffraction limit of light have gained
wide popularity for visualizing cellular structures with nanometric resolution. Following the …

In this review we present new concepts and recent progress in the application of
semiconductor quantum dots (QD) as labels in two important areas of biology, bioimaging …

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugation is a rapidly evolving strategy to solve hurdles in
therapeutic delivery and is being used as an add-on tool to the traditional drug delivery …

Semiconductor quantum dots are quickly becoming a critical diagnostic tool for discerning
cellular function at the molecular level. Their high brightness, long-lasting, size-tunable, and …

Background: Synthetic nanoparticles are emerging as versatile tools in biomedical
applications, particularly in the area of biomedical imaging. Nanoparticles 1–100 nm in …

While the use of quantum dot (QD) nanoparticles for bioimaging and sensing has been
improved and exploited during the last several years, most studies have used emission …

Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals that have broad excitation spectra, narrow
emission spectra, tunable emission peaks, long fluorescence lifetimes, negligible …

We report a systematic empirical study of nanoparticle internalization into cells via non-
specific pathways. The nanoparticles were comprised of commercial quantum dots (QDs) …

The use of nanoparticles, either for the delivery of drugs or for imaging contrast agents, or a
combination of both (theranostics), is very appealing in biological and biomedical research …

Luminescent near-infrared (NIR) CdTe/CdSe QDs were synthesized and encapsulated in
poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA) nanospheres to prepare stable and biocompatible QDs …
