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 …

Quantum dots, due to their unique optical properties, constitute significant materials for many
areas of nanotechnology and bionanotechnology. This work presents a review of …

We have optimized a synthetic method for the preparation of water soluble CdTe quantum
dots (QDs), capped with glutathione (GSH) molecules, chemically bound to the nanoparticle …

The II–VI nanocrystallites (NCs) are well known as a great fluorescent probe, but one of the
main problem is a toxic effect. Covering a semiconductor NCs by some materials or …

Unlike traditional or anatomical imaging, molecular imaging seeks to track molecular events
by visualizing concentration or function of bioactive molecules or physiological parameters …

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles, which show the onset of quantum
confinement effects. This is due to their nanoscale dimensions giving rise to discrete …

Imaging, in particular fluorescence optical imaging, is widely used as a diagnostic and
therapeutic tool, 1 being a non-invasive technique avoiding the exposure of patients to …

Semiconductor nanoparticles (SNPs) or quantum dots (QDs), due to their unique optical
