Exploiting the UV excited size-dependent emission of PDMS-coated CdTe quantum dots for in vitro simultaneous multicolor imaging of HepG2 cellular organelles

Abstract

Multicolor bioimaging can be referred to as the imaging method that non-invasively visualizes biological processes using fluorophores.

Advancements in semiconductor quantum dots: expanding frontiers in optoelectronics, analytical sensing, biomedicine, and catalysis

“…Then, employing EDC-NHS chemistry, they attached them to CD68 ab (lysosomes), mitochondria ab, nuclear antigen ab, and smooth muscle actin ab, respectively, to concurrently scan cellular organelles such as HepG2 lysosomes, mitochondria, nucleus, and actin. 247…”

A Highly Sensitive Dual-Signal Strategy via Inner Filter Effect between Tween 20-Gold Nanoparticles and CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots for Detecting Cu2+

“…Quantum dots (QDs) have become a research hotspot because of their excellent photophysical properties, for example, tunable and narrow emission spectrum, high quantum yield, and high stability and photobleaching threshold [ 15 ]. Benefiting from these properties, QDs have been widely used as photocatalysts [ 16 , 17 ], photoelectric devices [ 18 ], biological imaging [ 19 ] and fluorescent probes [ 20 ]. Due to the excellent properties of QDs and the high extinction coefficient of AuNPs, various novel fluorescence sensors are composed of AuNPs and QDs, which are developed for the detection of thiourea [ 20 ], cysteine [ 21 ], and organophosphorus pesticide [ 22 ].…”
