Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have become important fluorescent probes for in vitro
and in vivo bioimaging research. Their nanoparticle surfaces for versatile bioconjugation …

Neuropsychiatric disorders have long been linked to both immune system activation and
alterations in serotonin (5-HT) signaling. In the CNS, the contributions of 5-HT modulate a …

The hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are the aggregates of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides
and tau protein. Autophagy is a major cellular pathway leading to the removal of aggregated …

Serotonin (5-HT) is a vital modulatory neurotransmitter responsible for regulating most
behaviors in the brain. An inefficient 5-HT synaptic function is often linked to various mental …

Quantum dots have attracted considerable interest in the fields of solid state lighting,
displays, and fluorescent imaging. Their tunable optical properties by changing the size and …

The human SLC6 family is composed of approximately 20 structurally related symporters (co-
transporters) that use the transmembrane electrochemical gradient to actively import their …

Nanocrystals exhibit useful properties not found in their bulk counterparts; however, a
subclass of nanocrystals that consist of diameters on the order of 2 nm or less further exhibit …

Consequently, many excellent reviews have been published, covering different aspects of
nanomaterials for chemical analysis. 1− 6 The present Review focuses on applications of …

The neuronal K/Cl transporter KCC2 exports chloride ions and thereby influences the
efficacy and polarity of GABA signaling in the brain. KCC2 is also critical for dendritic spine …

Since their introduction to biological imaging, quantum dots (QDs) have progressed from a
little known, but attractive, technology to one that has gained broad application in many …
