Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum Dots for Live Cells, in Vivo Imaging, and Diagnostics

TL;DR: The new generations of qdots have far-reaching potential for the study of intracellular processes at the single-molecule level, high-resolution cellular imaging, long-term in vivo observation of cell trafficking, tumor targeting, and diagnostics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and Properties of Biocompatible Water-Soluble Silica-Coated CdSe/ZnS Semiconductor Quantum Dots†

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of water-soluble semiconductor nanoparticles and their properties are described and discussed and the properties of the resulting nanocrystals are discussed and characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioactivation and Cell Targeting of Semiconductor CdSe/ZnS Nanocrystals with Phytochelatin-Related Peptides

TL;DR: Synthetic phytochelatin-related peptides are used as an organic coat on the surface of colloidal CdSe/ZnS semiconductor nanocrystals synthesized from hydrophobic coordinating trioctyl phosphine oxide (TOPO) solvents, providing a novel approach for the production of biocompatible photoluminescent nanocrystal probes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances in fluorescence imaging with quantum dot bio-probes

TL;DR: The unique properties of qdots not only give biologists the opportunity to explore advanced imaging techniques such as single molecule or lifetime imaging but also to revisit traditional fluorescence imaging methodologies and extract yet unobserved or inaccessible information in vitro or in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probing cellular events, one quantum dot at a time

TL;DR: Recent advances that allow ever more controlled experiments at the single-nanoparticle level in live cells are reviewed to illustrate how single QD tracking can be readily used to decipher complex biological processes and address key concepts that underlie cellular organization and dynamics.
